Even in the first generation of the system guix pull now fails. Apparently due to its inability to create symlinks that are already there. I tried removing the symlinks, but that did not resolve the issue. What can I do to recover? Regards, Henk ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
