It seems so:

=E2=9D=AF guix gc -d /gnu/store/50530hgnzkxgkqciip68dn7v23cslw1c-icecat-60.=
8.0-guix1/
guix gc: warning: '-d' as an alias for '--delete' is deprecated; use '-D'
finding garbage collector roots...
guix gc: error: cannot delete path `/gnu/store/50530hgnzkxgkqciip68dn7v23cs=
lw1c-icecat-60.8.0-guix1'
since it is still alive

- but I can=E2=80=99t understand WHY?!
