Hi,

This is an unsafe thing to do.

This is due to an ABI change a few weeks ago.  Just run “make clean-go
&& make”.

I can’t seem to reproduce it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix package -p foo -i python <at> 2.7
The following package will be installed:
   python	2.7.13	/gnu/store/p0ygwmwspjpn4pwnla3p26n0xrypzdxv-python-2.7.13

substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://bayfront.guixsd.org'... 100.0%
substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org'... 100.0%

   /gnu/store/x0pffs6dzzzrajvhajicwgw6aj0g34zl-profile.drv

$ git describe
v0.12.0-3905-g516bfed7a
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Could you check if the problem occurs with current Guix, and if it does,
whether the above command is easy to reproduce it?

Thanks for reporting it!

Ludo’.
