Yes, it makes sense but it is totally counter-intuitive. :-) Well, it is a bit hard: remove a tiny package and then big packages such as GHC are downloaded. I will see if I can improve the doc or something else. Thanks, simon

The reason is that, after you made the last profile, you ran `guix pull`. Some package that is used to build profiles was updated in the `guix pull` and now, to make a new profile, you need to use that updated package. There are profile hooks that do things like build the man page database, and maybe those packages were updated. Does that make sense?

Hmm? Okish... but it is really annoying. And I do not understand the reason of this. I mean try to remove a package and see that ~120MB will be downloaded, it appears at best awkward. What should be the workaround? Cheers, simon
