Hi Gottfried,
I see several problems with `update-profiles.sh`.
- You wrote `GUIX_PROFILES=home/gfp/Projekte`, without leading slash.
This makes the shell treat this path as a relative one. You need to
use either `/home/gfp/Projekte` or just '$HOME/Projekte'.
- This script assumes manifests to be stored in a completely different
place than they really are in your case.
- There's no need to `unset` the loop variables at every iteration. At
least as long as this script is executed and not sourced. I'm
mentioning this although a few extraneous `unset`s are not going to
cause problems. Don't worry too much about this.
I edited the script. Try with this version
```
#!/bin/sh
GUIX_PROFILES=$HOME/Projekte
for dir in $GUIX_PROFILES/*
do
name=$(basename "$dir" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
manifest="$dir"/$name.scm
profile=$dir/$name
if [ -r $manifest ]
then
guix package --manifest="$manifest" --profile="$profile"
fi
done
```
