Hi Felix,
thanks for your help! Running
find /run/current-system/ -follow -printf ""
on my current system does not find anything. When inside the broken
system, find fails with the same error message.
However, running
find /gnu/store/ -follow -printf ""
find: File system loop detected; ‘/gnu/store/097dmm40lhcf777acqh5i660j4i09k85-tzdata-2022a/share/zoneinfo/posix’ is part of the same file system loop as ‘/gnu/store/097dmm40lhcf777acqh5i660j4i09k85-tzdata-2022a/share/zoneinfo’.
detects that the file
/gnu/store/097dmm40lhcf777acqh5i660j4i09k85-tzdata-2022a/share/zoneinfo/posix
links to itself. Since I read I should not mess with the store, any
ideas how to get rid of that file system loop in a safe way?
I already tried re-installing it, but that had no effect.
Roman.
