At least, the issue had been discussed in this thread [1] and fixed by c20ba18304ee63f01895f092bb51bc2a9ce3303b. You installed from v1.0.1, that's why. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hope that the binary install will be updated soon using the fix. :-) All the best, simon [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-11/msg00540.html
