I erased ALL the prevoius generations and still there are some elements
that "guix gc -d ..." cannot eliminate from the store because they turn out
to be "still alive"

Of course emacs-cider is not installed in the current generation

I don't understand.

Is there a way to let guix tell me what is still pointing to those ?
