Oh, well, that=E2=80=99s definitely not right.  Guix does not download
individual files when fetching packages =E2=80=94 it downloads archives that
definitely do contain the .go files.  So the question is=E2=80=A6 where did=
 they
go once =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D finished?

Does =E2=80=9Cguix gc --verify=3Drepair,contents=E2=80=9D (run as root) rea=
lly not tell
you anything useful?
