Hi Jesse,

> Wow, now I want to keep guix up-to-date all the time. 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.)
