How long has it > been since you pulled/upgraded guix? There=E2=80=99s no need to worry about that. The mechanism to upgrade Guix= has changed significantly over the past years and has since stabilized. This error will usually only hit you if you=E2=80=99re using a *much* older Guix that predates the changes how =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D works. (It=E2=80=99s still a good idea to keep Guix up-to-date, of course.) -- Ricardo
