In particular, there are multiple profiles, and each of them could contain avahi or a reference to avahi. In your case, I think avahi comes from two places: First, guix itself depends on guile-avahi, which brings in avahi. That's because substitution can use avahi to get substitutes from your local network. Second, your operating-system declaration apparently is running the avahi server. Since you didn't share it, I don't know if it comes from a service dependency or if it's declared explicitely, but if you don't want it to be running, that's where you'd remove it (either remove the explicit service, or the dependent service (guix publish?)) Avahi is added by the installer if you enable "Substitute server discovery" in the installer. Similarly, wpa-supplicant is probably part of another profile, or maybe declared in your config.scm. Once you change it, you should reconfigure (guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm). This will not remove files from the store, until you run guix gc. When you run "guix remove" as user, it only affects your user profile, in which there is no avahi or wpa-supplicant package. Also note that, if any of your user's profile had a dependency on avahi, "guix remove avahi" would not have any effect on it either, because it's not installed explicitely, it's only present in the store to satisfy a dependency. You can find out about these dependencies with guix graph, for instance: guix graph -t references --path `readlink -f \ $HOME/.config/guix/current` `guix build avahi` /gnu/store/9yvb5kknnq8b1mrfsqaggrgjifk2mgs4-profile /gnu/store/dy46rf8aknz4im7sjz89i9b7snqi1m8w-guix-f91e1046c /gnu/store/szyzmhsxckvb0h7pdh9ags9apd1sch7m-guix-command /gnu/store/zjpqr7m6j3cjk5l2sr81yxyg5ny4njy6-guix-module-union /gnu/store/jawdw5ca459z8y3a6hcd5pd772zjrs93-guile-avahi-0.4.0-1.6d43caf /gnu/store/gj0irsda1y0msawq8g1wfcgw7xcsxz2m-avahi-0.8 I hope this is helpful :)
