What behavior do you think would be appropriate when running, say: guix gc -d /gnu/store/mgqk0kv5jckrd7l5cwj68fp7cz2l4qqj-luajit-2.0.3/bin/lua Should it be equivalent to: guix gc -d /gnu/store/mgqk0kv5jckrd7l5cwj68fp7cz2l4qqj-luajit-2.0.3 I would think so, but I’d like to have feedback. Thanks, Ludo’. PS: Make sure to use bug-g...@gnu.org for bug reports.
