Hello guix,

  I’m doing a simple

    guix pack -S /.guix-profile/bin=bin mg

  with no issue.

  However, when I replace ’bin’ by ’sbin’, ’libexec’ or ’src’ I get an
  error.

    guix pack -S /.guix-profile/libexec=libexec mg

  This used to perform correctly. Is that an expected behaviour ?

  I’m using "738b0e4" from yesterday.

Best,

Cayetano Santos

I don't know about the previous state, but currently mg and the
produced profile used by guix pack don't contain sbin, libexec or src:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ls /gnu/store/m11qlw60b4chz37cysqxg6kpixnqjld5-mg-20221112/
bin/  etc/  share/
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ls /gnu/store/5qn8s8qdlvxv1aj9dsh4bffbxqd9xbjn-profile/
bin@  etc/  share/  manifest
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks

You’re right. This is probably the reason, I have misunderstood the way
it is done.

Thanks,
