Hi,

I'm curious: I added "python-config" to the symlinks in package
"python-wrapper". I thought, this would just use the "python" package
already in the store and augment it with he symlinks.

Instead "guix build python-wrapper" tried to download the the *source*
for python.

Is this intended or a bug?

Most likely it had a Good Reason™ to do so, but it’s hard to tell
without further details, like: what did ‘guix build python-wrapper -n’
report, what was available in the store, whether grafts were enabled,
etc.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
