That’s harmless: it comes from the new ‘refresh’ check, which checks
whether new versions are available upstream (it does indicate a
limitation of the Cabal parser, though.)

It looks like you run ‘guix lint’ on all the packages, which is great.
I’ll apply the whole series in a day or two if there are no further
comments.

Thank you,
Ludo’.
