Hello,

installing a few packages, I get the following output:

...
building profile '/nix/store/ylq6xn1599wfph4n6caw7kdd5wds4x9n-profile' with 65 packages......
51 packages in profile

The difference is, I think, that I consciously installed 51 packages, while
the remaining 14 ones are pulled in as propagated-inputs. Could the output be
made uniform, in either sense?

Andreas

Exactly.

The issue is that the ‘65 packages’ lines comes from the build side log
(which doesn’t know the distinction between propagated inputs and the
rest), while the ‘51 packages’ line comes from ‘guix package’.

Perhaps the log should say ‘65 items’, to make it clear it’s not
counting the same thing.

Alternately, we could also remove that line altogether.

WDYT?

Ludo’.

Maybe we could remove both lines even? But I am happy with removing only
one, then preferably the "65 packages" one, which is not coherent with
   guix package -I|wc

I removed the “wrong” one, and kept the other.

Thanks!
