@neobrain:matrix.orgneobrain Is it expected that lix store gc deletes drv files for profile entries even if keep-env-derivations is set? Is there a different mechanism to prevent the deletion? (vulnix can operate on profiles but it requires the drv files to do so) 14:27:19
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariussounds like a bug16:35:21
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius did you enable keep-outputs as well? 16:35:27
@neobrain:matrix.orgneobrainI tried and it didn't seem to make a difference, can double-check in a bit though16:51:23
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusif it doesn't work, a reproducer and a bug would be welcome16:54:52
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius* if it doesn't work, a reproducer and an issue would be welcome16:54:55

Noting this down for the time being, will create an issue some other time though:

$ nix profile install ghostty
...

$ nix derivation show /nix/store/ml1xqk2qxkr4vbvvfph756drcmcrh1fq-ghostty-1.2.3
(works)

$ nix store gc -v | grep ghostty
deleting '/nix/store/9yzkxcyizfj24zj11d6xcnnx5akhaf6g-ghostty-1.2.3.drv'

$ nix derivation show /nix/store/ml1xqk2qxkr4vbvvfph756drcmcrh1fq-ghostty-1.2.3
error: '/nix/store/ml1xqk2qxkr4vbvvfph756drcmcrh1fq-ghostty-1.2.3' does not have a known deriver

@leana8959:faefox.devPrimrose (== Léana)

Does the min-free option in nix.conf take effect if I use nix-copy-closure?
I use nixos-rebuild with --target-host for my distant servers, and I wonder if the gc would kick in when the storage is lower than min-free during copying.

@leana8959:faefox.devPrimrose (== Léana)

Also, unrelated to the question above, is it normal (or is it fixed) that when running nix-store --gc -vvv I get the following error in the end of the garbage collection.
