Dear list,

I've unfortunatly done the equivalent of $ rm /usr/local/bin/guix

I've then tried to re-install guix by:

  removing /gnu

  removing /var/guix

  executing the install script given here: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html#Binary-Installation

It does not work … How to solve these issues?

Thx,

PH

* I encounter much problems with Guix since then:
