'--upgrade' can take a list of packages to upgrade, so you'll have to
change your command to 'guix package --upgrade . --keep-going' to
upgrade everything, or 'guix package --keep-going --upgrade' for the
same effect.

Hi,

thanks for your help

I tried both commands, both are not working.

the update breaks after not managing one package and it doesn’t continue 
with updating other packages.

So at the moment it is

1. impossible to update my Lilypond profil (after several attempts)

2. imposssible to update my packages in the default profile (since weeks)

3. impossible to install "plasma-desktop",(after several attempts)
  it wants to build 11 packages locally, one needed 3 hours to build,
after that it broke because it couldn’t solve one dependent package.

and it is not sure at all, if after installing all packages it will work.

4. impossible to use the additional monitor for MATE-desktop because the 
display manager gdm doesn’t work well.


Kind regards

Gottfried

I'm pretty sure --keep-going just means trying to *build* everything.
If you don't want to upgrade a profile and skip packages that don't
build, you have to explicitly use --do-not-upgrade.
So:
guix upgrade --do-not-upgrade=one-package --do-not-upgrade='(this-one|or-this)'

Keep in mind that it treats its arguments as regular expressions.
