Yes this is a continuation of my previous question. Thanks for response. I
didn't
show the complete output. But I tried to show there are 13987 LINES in the
error
messages. It's not so much the particular cases, it's Why is this happening
at all?
Did I do smething wrong or is this software error? ANd, what is the proper
procedure to
removal of one of the options?
Is it something like:   <http://libatomic.la>
guix package -r /gnu/store/wfvxxpdhnzd59vkad1zasm4f858giv9a-gcj-4.9.3/lib/
libatomic.la
or is it
guix package -r /gnu/store/wfvxxpdhnzd59vkad1zasm4f858giv9a-gcj-4.9.3
or is it
guix package -r / gcj
And can it be done globally?
THere must be something I'm not doing correctly.
