Hi Felix, thanks for your help! Running
find /run/current-system/ -follow -printf "" on my current system does not find anything. When inside the broken system, find fails with the same error message. However, running find /gnu/store/ -follow -printf "" find: File system loop detected; ‘/gnu/store/097dmm40lhcf777acqh5i660j4i09k85-tzdata-2022a/share/zoneinfo/posix’ is part of the same file system loop as ‘/gnu/store/097dmm40lhcf777acqh5i660j4i09k85-tzdata-2022a/share/zoneinfo’. detects that the file /gnu/store/097dmm40lhcf777acqh5i660j4i09k85-tzdata-2022a/share/zoneinfo/posix links to itself. Since I read I should not mess with the store, any ideas how to get rid of that file system loop in a safe way? I already tried re-installing it, but that had no effect. Roman.
