When I run 'guix package -p ~/.guix-profile ...' I would expect it to do the same thing as without the '-p ~/.guix-profile', but it doesn't follow the immediate symlink, changing ~/.guix-profile to point to e.g. ~/.guix-profile-1-link, and creating that one as a link to /gnu/store/...-profile. (Normally it only does that to $localstatedir/guix/profiles/per-user/$user/guix-profile.)
Perhaps my expectation is wrong because Guix doesn't "know" about the "trick" of having a ~/.guix-profile symlink to the canonical per-user profile symlink in $localstatedir/... As a general solution, Guix could follow all but the last two(?) symlinks in the symlink chain started by the -p argument. Don't know if that's a good solution. Thoughts? Taylan
