Thank you, Ricardo Wurmus, for these exact instructions.

I have that bin directory:

# cd ~/.config/guix/current/bin/
~/.config/guix/current/bin# ls
guix  guix-daemon

And I have no upgrades for guix. As I thought before upgrading process is `guix pull && guix package -u ATOM`

# guix package -u guix
# guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) e67ad5532f76b53e955149da2f1e237696ff0893

Did you mean Guix version  67ad5532f76b53e955149da2f1e237696ff0893 that provide gcrypt?
Can I run `guix pull` now?
