Actually, I don't remember seeing that question. Maybe they are disabled then,
I will enable them.

Thanks for the great tips, very helpful.
There are 138 files more recent than the generation before last. The names of
the .drv.bz2 files apparently include package names but I see nothing with xorg
or texlive, even in the older ones, while I am sure I saw them listed on the
output.
Could that be visible inside of other .drv files in /var/log/guix?

Excellent, it solves the problem.

The line there is a little different but I am not able to say whether that
should do the same or not. I guess I should spend more time on the bash manual,
this is perhaps one of the most useful manual to spend time on.
Anyway, thanks for the very good help !
