It is just a little confusing for newcomers to guix. If we really want to improve something, I think that could be to give a more rigorous specification of the guix command: in `guix search --help`, the documentation could be "Search for no hidden packages matching REGEXPS." in https://guix.gnu.o

Hi, This is not a bug. The gcc package exists, but is hidden from CLI on purpose because you shouldn't install it and use it directly. You should use gcc-toolchain instead. Le 15 novembre 2022 00:53:32 GMT+01:00, bbb ee a écrit : >in version c81457a5883ea43950eb2ecdcbb58a5b144bcd11 of guix, gc
