Hello,

> Both times, as I think, it happened this way. I run `guix pull`,
> switch off notebook while it is running (just a mistake) and then I
> run again `guix pull`, it works, but gives the errors.

The mechanism used by =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D has changed.  These error=
s no longer
happen with the new mechanism.

> # guix gc -R $(readlink -f ~/.config/guix/latest)

~/.config/guix/latest is no longer used.  Instead =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=
=9D installs a
full self-contained Guix to ~/.config/guix/current/bin/.

If you don=E2=80=99t have this you are likely upgrading from an old version=
 of
Guix before that change was made.  In that case you need to upgrade to a
version of Guix that has a guile-gcrypt package, then install it, and
only then run =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D.

With the new mechanism you can simply use any of the older variants of
Guix you have in ~/.config/guix/current-n-link/bin.

Hope this helps!
