4.2

This command fails because there are still references:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
mhw@tines:~/guix$ ./pre-inst-env guix gc --delete /nix/store/wbsypglflcy7fi=
08h4finffjy9mqzh12-libtool-2.4.2

4.2-bin

This command succeeds, but does not solve the problem for me.

Any other suggestions?

     Thanks,
