They are referred to by a profile. You can see the full list of your=
user's profiles with `guix package --list-generations`. Other users wil= l
have their own profiles.

You can learn more about how to work with these profiles with `guix
package --help` and also in the manual, 3.2 Invoking guix package.

Thank you

Th= ere are only 2 profiles on this machine: mine and root's profile
As for mine, I eliminated ALL previous ge= nerations and emacs-cider is not installed in the current one

=
As for root's profile:

$ guix package= -p root --list-installed

returns n= othing


and
$ guix package -p= root --list-generations
guix package: error: profile 'root' doe= s not exist


So which profile is= pointing to those things ?
