Hi, this sounds like you're not using she right guix, like a guix installe=
d in your profile=2E If that's the case, every time you "upgrade", you actu=
ally downgrade guix itself and the packages it knoos about=2E

Make sure that ~/=2Econfig/guix/current/bin tomes first in your $PATH and =
run "hash guix" to make sure your shell refers to the right guix=2E
