OK, then I'm closing this issue.

Hello Guix,

The first time a user runs ‘guix pull’ after a fresh install it does not
seem to update guix.  ‘guix --version’ reports that guix is still
version 0.15.0 after running ‘guix pull’, instead of showing the hash of
the latest commit.
This can be mitigated by logging out and back in, after which
‘guix --version’ returns the expected version.

Greetings

Diego
