Hi Jesse,

> been since you pulled/upgraded guix?

There’s no need to worry about that.  The mechanism to upgrade Guix has
changed significantly over the past years and has since stabilized.
This error will usually only hit you if you’re using a *much* older
Guix that predates the changes how “guix pull” works.

(It’s still a good idea to keep Guix up-to-date, of course.)
