Thanks a lot for this confirmation Mark, I suspected something like this 
must have happened when I saw the sourcebuilding...

How best to proceed from here to:
- get back to current master
- keep the built libreoffice in the store

I had an idea that pulling the current master from the downloaded file 
will bring me forward again, but doesn't seem it happened - still 
building from source.

I don't use Guix from git, this is the GuixSD installed as a clean 
system from USB. Is there no other way now than to clone the git guix, 
build it an rebase? How will it interact with the GuixSD version of the 
tools? Isn't this going to lead to more conflicts? How do I insure the 
git guix will take precedende - just make sure to run local commands 
only from the git build directory?

Or would maybe now a system reconfigure bring me forward? What is the 
cleanest way?
