What behavior do you think would be appropriate when running, say:
guix gc -d /gnu/store/mgqk0kv5jckrd7l5cwj68fp7cz2l4qqj-luajit-2.0.3/bin/lua
Should it be equivalent to:
guix gc -d /gnu/store/mgqk0kv5jckrd7l5cwj68fp7cz2l4qqj-luajit-2.0.3
I would think so, but I’d like to have feedback.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
