What can be done in > this case? >=20 As I've wrapped my head around it, Guix doesn't believe in "upgrades" and "downgrades", just in changes in dependencies. So if the version string loses the leading "v" I suppose ASCIIbetically v2.49.1 is a higher value than 2.49.1, but Guix just sees that before it was v2.49.1 and now it's 2.50 so it's time for a change in installed files. Just like if you never run 'guix pull' on a new system it'll continue downgrading overtime. --=20 Efraim Flashner =D7=90=D7=A4=D7=A8=D7=99=D7=9D = =D7=A4=D7=9C=D7=A9=D7=A0=D7=A8 GPG key =3D A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted --AhhlLboLdkugWU4S Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEoov0DD5VE3JmLRT3Qarn3Mo9g1EFAlx9bwkACgkQQarn3Mo9 g1EgOQ/+L7+b3nAepVmSM5fbd450A64z3OjFKsMPQJu571XeLQY5BsqqfBZzHdzc MyTYZsLgr36PDf7btnsjl5+a4/3p681nsye/vwz1X1cVA4OWsPt4gKX/tLCeTQJm oCWGP3JAIKqqQKGNHCV5oeZSgXCaGrlx9TwzsEgi4LvDUP0RU5WmdUaHrHUV7k3m 93nnml+JQmglq1M2Peb8Wy9BMsv3DhJCQajUqlvmajl8t25z6Y2rsyXYb0aA07i6 wNy3/kucWMtPMuOCo6JnuBfThc6/YyLPFuE+26DwQG9/IXlRJ9KHnkoLErXyaDkR tkv0NkQ75M+bUOToTIb+T/XPbfVu375adDuDmYdA5Aj3/DzJJsciWFcir+SarF33 GGvbYaCuF9AV2ZI++wsC/Gap672FRIM7hKKxHwkXWzZ7Vd0bo6PuAP/L2oViPOZ+ HVPSmuZk9WOY8ss0KOxWrWCQ1sb2TvV13joegzo4RvsG9xhXIpAVFP/UUomxSsKG KzOY0IFGAkwYzcPs28RzivvcfPLOP3ceRsHdKK3Y6U0VnNF3F8gCdi6AO7uNejV+ jCGLhxqMMaXTW+TWU5wbIkaaLHC1MMw/kkNxsB/TN/oYEyWXIxHZP4nRJ6KW2IM2 YwuMiq7nS/DD5mwB2ux8Ev4+sBetKCN1j0QajfjH6dgEf+LJdf0= =BM40 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --AhhlLboLdkugWU4S--
