Since then I've been keeping up to date, running `guix pull` frequently as my normal user. But now when I invoke guix as root, it constantly tells me: guix package: warning: Your Guix installation is 125 days old. guix package: warning: Consider running 'guix pull' followed by 'guix package -u' to get up-to-date packages and security updates. ...presumably because it's reading the mtime/ctime on the symlink. Is there a more precise way to asses the age of the guix installation symlink?
