ls /gnu/store/*ruby-2.2.1*
/gnu/store/gy1dnlh6qhwd40admi3b1mr4r9cn8bww-ruby-2.2.1
ls /var/guix/profiles/per-user/wrk/guix-profile-2-link/bin/ruby
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/wrk/guix-profile-2-link/bin/ruby -> /gnu/store/gy1dnlh6qhwd40admi3b1mr4r9cn8bww-ruby-2.2.1/bin/ruby
A few days later I install ruby-1.8.7 followed by
guix package -i ruby-2.2.1
The following package will be upgraded:
ruby 1.8.7-p374 -> 2.2.1 /gnu/store/z8kf6hgln4a7xf68pdnlibl3vcg5rl15-ruby-2.2.1
The following derivations will be built:
/gnu/store/7k8nsgpvaafljk1wcnpiq3sm0vns64ck-profile.drv
/gnu/store/b8pasb4kj50x696bln6jpq4myhzkbrg0-ca-certificate-bundle.drv
/gnu/store/5hnj1f5i41a6vp4xshhrzqcf27vaf0y7-info-dir.drv
The following files will be downloaded:
/gnu/store/z8kf6hgln4a7xf68pdnlibl3vcg5rl15-ruby-2.2.1
/gnu/store/xgfynxf3nscq41n27mnd1lf1hb21fc7w-openssl-1.0.2
So openssl has changed the install. That is not reproducible installs
in my book.

Yes. In that case, we should make sure that we know an atomic build
has been completed - also outside the DB.
I am not saying what guix does is wrong. I am saying there are
instances where you WANT to rebuild the DB.
