The culprit seems these lines in etc/guix-install.sh:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    for i in "${var_guix}"/share/info/*; do
        ln -sf "$i" "$info_path"
    done
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You are expecting symlinks to all except this ’dir’ file, right?


All the best,
