It does update Guix itself.  The =E2=80=9Cguix=E2=80=9D package, however, s=
hould
generally not be installed into a user profile, because it is always
necessarily *older* than the version of Guix that you are using to
install it (unless you=E2=80=99re using =E2=80=9C--with-source=E2=80=9D to =
use a more recent
tarball).
