Hi John!

John Darrington <john@darrington.wattle.id.au> skribis:

More precisely, the resulting image is for the Guix in your source tree,
*but* the image runs a version of Guix that is older than your source
tree; specifically, it runs =E2=80=98guix-devel=E2=80=99 from (gnu packages
package-management).

If you want the current Guix inside the image, you need to use
=E2=80=98current-guix=E2=80=99 as done in (gnu tests install).

HTH!

Ludo=E2=80=99.
