When tying to delete them, only a few are removed and many are kept. E.g: # guix gc -d /gnu/store/*teensy* finding garbage collector roots... deleting `/gnu/store/=E2=80=A6-teensy-loader-cli-2.1-1.f289b7a.drv' deleting `/gnu/store/=E2=80=A6-teensy-loader-cli-2.1-1.f289b7a.tar.xz.drv= ' guix gc: error: build failed: cannot delete path `/gnu/store/=E2=80=A6-teensy-loader-cli-2.1-1.f289b7a.tar.gz.drv' since i= t is still alive $ ls -d /gnu/store/*teensy* | wc -l 35 The one still alive if okay, since I have an older version of this package installed in my current environment. How do I get rid of these ca. 30 outdated store items? --=20 Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goebel@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
