Re: guix pull: error: symlink: File exists

[Laura Lazzati]

Now I am trying to get the official way working, that is by sourcing
~/.guix-profile/etc/profile, but it does not seem to work yet.
(I could of course just source it manually whenever I start a
terminal, but this does not feel comfortable)
I will have a look if I can simply get it working using . instead of
source, or any other reasonable way.
(Guix prepares most of the recommended environment variables there)

With my almost fresh VM, I tried

guix pull --substitute-urls="https://berlin.guixsd.org"

And about two hours ago I had it updated. 

Exported the PATH env on mi cli, added it to .profile.

Then ran guix pull -l

And got:

Migrating profile generations to '/var/guix/profiles/per-user/laura'...

    branch: master
    commit: c16913d34df610f5e1560ab8da953e32b3a4e7d7

And then tried guix pull again (always with substitute) The only difference was this output by the end:

Computing Guix derivation for 'x86_64-linux'... \

nothing to be done

I don't know if this was the output you were getting. But it is different from what I was getting before.
