I do not know if “git clean -dfx” would help because here the error is probably between the repositories src/guix and src/guix-master and Guix manages them under 2 unrelated directory checkouts. When you cleaned ~/.cache/guix/checkouts and pulled again, you created a new directory checkout. Based on which origin? Default? Or src/guix? Or src/guix-master? Cheers, simon
