[PATCH] home: symlink-manager: Use no-follow version of file-exists?. |
Date: |

* gnu/home/services/symlink-manager.scm (update-symlinks-script): Use
no-follow version of file-exists?.
---
file-exists? returns #f on dangling symlinks, which makes such files
"invisible" during the cleanup process and breaks activation of home
environment.
