Hello.
It's totally normal and expected, and if Guix wasn't upgraded in a
while (say, for example a month) it'll take even longer time. The
reason being that it has to upgrade the Guix toolset and then fetch new
commits directly from git repos and build a database with said commits,
these databases contain all information required to replicate your
current installed setup, building this database is the slow part of
running pull.
