I noticed that
guix package --roll-back
does not work without a daemon running. Could this be changed?
guix package -I
does not need the daemon.

In theory yes, but in practice that’d require twisting the code for what
looks to me like an easily worked around corner case.
How strongly do you feel about it?

I can always do it by hand by changing symlinks, so it is not absolutely
necessary.
The reason I needed to do it is that I was in a situation where the daemon
was compiled with the glibc from guix and did not work. So I wanted to
uninstall glibc, but --roll-back did not work. (Maybe -r would have
worked?)

Oh, weird. (FWIW it works for me.)

‘-r’ builds a derivation that produces the new profile, so it needs to
talk to the daemon.
