Rolling back to an earlier system generation and running "guix gc" again
was a good idea, but you might have missed one or two crucial steps in
between:
(1) You must *delete* the "older" system generations and user profiles
e.g. by running "guix system delete-generations" and "guix package
--delete-generations", or else "guix gc" won't clear them from your
store. It is not enough to merely switch to an older system
generation and profiles.
(2) You'll also need to actually reboot into the older system
generation, because /run/booted-system will continue to protect
(from GC) the system that you last booted into, even after you
switch systems.
Did you do those things before running "guix gc"?
I'm sorry that you've hit this nasty bug.
Regards,
Mark
