I'm not using Guix from a source checkout. I've issued `guix pull` (both under the root account and as my user account) a few times with no change. `guix` is symlinked from `/usr/local/bin/guix` to `/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix` which points to the latest profile (which is updated when running `guix pull` as root. Even commands which do not submit jobs to the daemon give this error. Do I need to `guix package -i guix` to get a good version? -- Katherine
