[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

After installing papirus-icon-theme my profile build became much slower, and after a few more generations I ran out of Inodes. After probing around with du I found that each profile had nearly 1.5M Inodes.

From 'du --inodes -d 1 /gnu/store | sort -n'

427406    /gnu/store/7038q3mds728lps7vrmn5ii4hzym4bs3-profile

1427449    /gnu/store/nxks5r9xg62av8c9harkcyk5x9ig45ka-profile
10900648    /gnu/store

And then further in the culprit:

This was fixed a bit later in 77aff2b5d2 by Tobias, by using hard links
instead of symlinks.

You'll have the fix after you 'guix pull' and 'guix upgrade'.

Closing.
