Hello,

I don=E2=80=99t think it=E2=80=99s necessary.

> 13. My profile disappeared once again and guix package does not work anym=
ore (it says "guix package: error: unsupported manifest format"). I realize=
 that my .guix-profile/etc/profile file has been emptied.=20

What do you mean by =E2=80=9Cmy profile disappeared once again=E2=80=9D?  I=
s the
~/.guix-profile symlink still around?  What does:

  readlink -f ~/.guix-profile

show?

Regarding the =E2=80=9Cunsupported manifest format=E2=80=9D error: what=E2=
=80=99s the content of
~/.guix-profile/manifest?  (You previously posted the contents of
~/.config/guix/current/manifest, but it=E2=80=99s not relevant here.)

In general profiles cannot =E2=80=9Cdisappear=E2=80=9D.  A potential issue =
one may
encounter is that, if you running several =E2=80=9Cguix install=E2=80=9D or=
 =E2=80=9Cguix
package=E2=80=9D commands simultaneously, one of them will =E2=80=9Cwin=E2=
=80=9D, meaning that
work done by the other one is discarded.  However, that cannot lead to
the =E2=80=9Cunsupported manifest format=E2=80=9D error.

Did you happen to run several such commands in parallel?

Thanks in advance,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
