.guix-profile points to /var/guix/profiles/per-user/matthieu/guix-profile as it should. But the packages that I had installed, like file or the urxvt command from rxvt-unicode, are no longer in my path. The last time this happened, my manifest file was still working, but guix package -I told that I had no installed package. > Regarding the “unsupported manifest format” error: what’s the content of > ~/.guix-profile/manifest?

Thanks, Matthieu
