Subject: [beginner's question] What is preventing my package from being deleted?
Date: Sat, 7 Sep 2024 11:50:20 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8734mbz9v7.fsf@morales.pe> (raw)


I defined a package and I installed it. Now, I'm trying to delete that package, but the following error is shown:

#+HEADER: :prologue "exec 2>&1"
#+HEADER: :epilogue ":"
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
guix gc -D /gnu/store/r7l2scg74yd6pryrs2xbh268akhwl7qi-font-stkaiti-287399335ec1beb72062ce67c36eaa8bec35f386 ; echo Exit code: $?
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
finding garbage collector roots...
guix gc: error: cannot delete path `/gnu/store/r7l2scg74yd6pryrs2xbh268akhwl7qi-font-stkaiti-287399335ec1beb72062ce67c36eaa8bec35f386' since it is still alive
Exit code: 1
#+end_example

I have listed all referrers, but no referrer is shown.

#+HEADER: :prologue "exec 2>&1"
#+HEADER: :epilogue ":"
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
guix gc --referrers /gnu/store/r7l2scg74yd6pryrs2xbh268akhwl7qi-font-stkaiti-287399335ec1beb72062ce67c36eaa8bec35f386 ; echo Exit code: $?
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
Exit code: 0
#+end_example

My question is: If there are no referres, then what is preventing that package from being deleted using =guix gc -D=?
