Hello Guix! This patch fixes a small defect in compress-documentation phase of our gnu-build-system. The phase could create dangling manual page symlinks in the case those were recursive. One package which exhibited the issue is Gimp; you might have noticed the `find-files' error message when the manual page database gets created on a profile generation as a consequence of that. Here's the Gimp example in some more details: * The manual pages under share/man/man1 before the documentation is compressed: gimp.1 -> gimp-2.8.1 gimp-2.8.1 gimp-console.1 -> gimp-console-2.8.1 gimp-console-2.8.1 -> gimp-2.8.1 gimptool-2.0.1 * After the documentation is compressed: gimp.1 -> gimp-2.8.1.gz gimp-2.8.1.gz gimp-console.1 -> gimp-console-2.8.1.gz gimp-console-2.8.1 -> gimp-2.8.1.gz gimptool-2.0.1.gz We can see that the gimp-console.1 link now points to an unexisting file. To correct the problem, a `points-to-symbolic-link?' predicate is added and its negation is used to filter out the links which shouldn't be retargetted. I didn't test this by rebuilding the world; rather, I exercised the `compress-documentation' function at the REPL, feeding it a copied gimp derivation output as it appeared before the problematic compress-documentation phase. It should be applied to core-updates since it triggers a rebuild of all the packages using the GNU build system. Maxim
