Oooops, there's probably been a mistake.

Looking at your emails from an older thread, it seems your profile
paths were like "/home/gfp/Projects/Calibre/guix-profil" and
"/home/gfp/Projects/Musik/guix-profil". Is that correct, is there
"guix-profil" at the end of every profile path? And here, with this
script, I erroneously assumed profile paths like
"/home/gfp/Projects/Calibre/calibre" and
"/home/gfp/Projects/Musik/musik". I apologize :(

We need to adapt the script to use the correct profile paths. I think
you could use something like

```
#!/bin/sh

GUIX_PROFILES=$HOME/Projekte

for dir in $GUIX_PROFILES/*
do
     name="$(basename "$dir" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')"
     manifest="$dir"/"$name".scm
     profile="$dir"/guix-profil
     if [ -r $manifest ]
     then
         guix package --manifest="$manifest" --profile="$profile"
     fi
done
```

Also, the script I prepared previously probably created some extraneous
profiles at the paths it was trying to use. Again, sorry if this
happened. You might want to remove the extra profiles you'll find.

Good luck,
Wojtek
