For that package, the root user cannot update the guix-daemon? --Dxnq1zWXvFF0Q93v Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEsFFZSPHn08G5gDigJkb6MLrKfwgFAli7Qy8ACgkQJkb6MLrK fwiV9Q//Ul86yry+KhL6pu0sb93cClkYoDq3qBCBqqBd3NACu6K7x8QkA0nUkWCg sdaWVz81t5YWus/L4K25KxINPztxsgZjg2cuGOYN3MpKTM7iY6clHuayAF2AnShh tHzWPvb/EKOjzqSIvEuafbdOJKZVdvX2HsDin4mu5eW45RPCM0qVgWlaM16OXLWq aRRwOeemXj7W0q2ZXm6PvufhCVA/NXqmBUNlc1D6yMd1VNluARHwdOHQY3gUEoLs PKYuG0c1UJotGAoiN4fFVLHTP/dszK8XIMXr/k1m95dvLHGaOW90DPNk1OBwau+Z poijk2PBUpuQErbqB4mZtFxIllR0v/QhzRcs9B06JOrPRbQULQWu69wnrpiA5jnj 4+RGXv9AUVhtfAAEcikQ1FX1XfVduiWVukpAotfOd0R5bMp5jEdKiWP5BGA1dfIi 9iw9u9lVrdlcG9ElPBQ3S7opA4WcnNZ04e62PDWrcUKQ7pQUU2ZBbIrrB8tjgUAn j9wrBTQtP2SliOsdYY2rn/1gp5eH54FyWqTkIybHCsQBre/otXb/rfsYgXnVIYXQ Wd4cWXut9ZPmnUKbgeCnCtOHTnaCK6u7IlprP1hNxBNmM6jQvONHNzn/y2zzYPxx OHzZxh++KfZkXGzn32PHgt5Zej/BzzK16MluEDSIG3goxQe/Q3c= =G4KP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Dxnq1zWXvFF0Q93v--
