Hello,
After installing guixsd (0.15) on a VM and doing "guix pull", "guix --version"
gives 0.14-<stuff>.
I asked about this on IRC a few weeks ago and got a helpful answer. All
I needed to do to fix is was to run a simple bash command.
Unfortunately, I've forgotten what that was :-(
Reporting here since I didn't find anything in the issue tracker when I
looked.
Thanks,
Alex

I think you mean “hash -r” to make bash forget previously remembered
locations.

Indeed, that was it. Thanks for helping out here and on IRC!
I'll mention here for posterity that restarting the system also "fixes"
the issue.
I still don't understand why bash found guix 0.14 after guix pulling
from guix 0.15 though.
Thanks again,
Alex

Yes, bash will not remember paths across reboots.

Bash optimizes lookups on the PATH; having found an executable on PATH
once, it can remember that location for a minor speed boost. The only
problem with this is that the cache can go stale.
From what I understand remembering locations is usually done manually by
running “hash”. I don’t know what would trigger this behaviour in your
case.

Right, all that makes sense. I'm wondering why/how bash ever found
guix-0.14 since I started out with guix-0.15.
