Does this seem sensible? Otherwise you get this libgc variant when you use Guix on the command line, and commands like guix lint complain. ./pre-inst-env guix lint libgc guix lint: warning: ambiguous package specification `libgc' guix lint: warning: choosing libgc@8.0.4 from gnu/packages/bdw-gc.scm:90:2 I hope that setting the properties doesn't involve rebuilding anything.
