[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
For some reason, rename-file fails when the target and destination are 
not in the same filesystem. However, we can't assume for the 
update-symlink script that all users will always have e.g. 
~/.local/share/applications (managed by guix-home) and ~ on the same 
filesystem. My use-case is trying to implement home impermanence. The 
patch is attached.
