No, I was wrong here. 82 is the size of the symlink, the file itself does contain all the file names. But there is also this now as part of the texlive package: + (propagated-inputs (list texlive-libkpathsea)) texlive-libkpathsea contains /gnu/store/h8vmxcbvk8n25y6zjj17qsq0fncansxs-texlive-libkpathsea-20230313/share/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf texlive (as a symlink to texlive-texmf) contains /gnu/store/88apcyl30irw6v03gmyav638wq31k9xq-texlive-20230313/share/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf They are not the same: $ diff /gnu/store/h8vmxcbvk8n25y6zjj17qsq0fncansxs-texlive-libkpathsea-20230313/share/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf /gnu/store/88apcyl30irw6v03gmyav638wq31k9xq-texlive-20230313/share/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf 62c62 < TEXMFROOT = {$GUIX_TEXMF}/.. --- > TEXMFROOT = $SELFAUTOPARENT 111c111 < TEXMF = {$GUIX_TEXMF} --- > TEXMF = > {$TEXMFAUXTREES$TEXMFCONFIG,$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFDIST} 575c575 < /gnu/store/h8vmxcbvk8n25y6zjj17qsq0fncansxs-texlive-libkpathsea-20230313/share/texmf-dist/web2c,\ --- > $SELFAUTOLOC/share/texmf-dist/web2c,\ 872,874c872,874 < error_line = 254 < half_error_line = 238 < max_print_line = 1000 --- > error_line = 79 > half_error_line = 50 > max_print_line = 79 I think with the propagation of texlive-libkpathsea, there is a conflict in the profile, which appears to be resolved in favour of texlive; however, this probably explains why texmf-dist in the profile is no more just a symlink. In principle it could contain files from two distinct packages, those just happen to be in conflict. By the way, the following also fails: $ guix shell --container --pure -D texlive The following derivation will be built: /gnu/store/rdrqavbga5rg9l20vpr1ac79psdndj4d-profile.drv building TeX Live font maps... /builder for `/gnu/store/bnyjd9vgyqniarynlvcia5vnm36pik9i-texlive-font-maps.drv' failed with exit code 1 build of /gnu/store/bnyjd9vgyqniarynlvcia5vnm36pik9i-texlive-font-maps.drv failed View build log at '/var/log/guix/drvs/bn/yjd9vgyqniarynlvcia5vnm36pik9i-texlive-font-maps.drv.gz'. cannot build derivation `/gnu/store/rdrqavbga5rg9l20vpr1ac79psdndj4d-profile.drv': 1 dependencies couldn't be built guix shell: error: build of `/gnu/store/rdrqavbga5rg9l20vpr1ac79psdndj4d-profile.drv' failed The log file contains lots of messages of the form: warning: collision encountered: /gnu/store/yzsq1dykjv96h88pcja0hcjbagn2vjxv-texlive-bin-full-20230313/share/texmf-dist/scripts/l3build/l3build.lua /gnu/store/s6w8r5q3aql1bhasv0nmwr5xgjv6qnhh-texlive-texmf-20230313/share/texmf-dist/scripts/l3build/l3build.lua warning: choosing /gnu/store/yzsq1dykjv96h88pcja0hcjbagn2vjxv-texlive-bin-full-20230313/share/texmf-dist/scripts/l3build/l3build.lua So here the conflicts are made directly visible. With the propagation of texlive-libkpathsea, texlive is clearly not just the composition of (the former) texlive-bin and texlive-texmf any more, where nothing was propagated as far as I can remember. Also, ls-R is now created as part of texlive instead of texlive-texmf, which may make a difference. And texmf-var has disappeared, and I have not yet understood where it has gone. These are a lot of subtle changes, and they do break the monolithic texlive. What could be a way forward to restore the texlive package? Would it be feasible to revert these commits, or is everything too mixed now? If the merge cannot be reverted, how about creating the two packages (texlive-bin and texlive-texmf) required for the monolithic texlive completely separately as before and reinstating texlive to be built from scratch without links with the modular texlive?
