This is apparently coming from Graphviz: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix graph --path guix libx11 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] $ guix graph --path guix libxt [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Surprising to me, but apparently it’s been this way from the start, commit b1b07d72c755ea314fb0c8333cd88293ee504ce4 (2013!). Maybe these are optional dependencies? Ludo’.
