Hi There,

I saw some packages installed by default with guix like wpa-supplicant and avahi..., But if i type 'guix remove av' and i press tab nothing will complete the word and if i type 'guix remove avahi' or 'guix remove wpa-supplicant' ... just give error message. (check the uploaded txt file)

The programs you are asking to remove are used internally by Guix.

You can't remove them with a simple command. You can't do that on other
Linux distros either.

For example, on Debian, I have /usr/bin/gpg:

------
$ ls -l /usr/bin/gpg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1046256 Aug 22  2019 /usr/bin/gpg
------

Then I uninstall it:

------
$ sudo apt-get remove gpg
[...]
$ ls -l /usr/bin/gpg
ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/gpg': No such file or directory
-----

But, apt-get uses gpg too, to check package signatures. It still has its
own copy of gpg, so it still works. You can't remove it easily.

It's the same situation, and it's not a bug.
