And the `guix pull` runs smoothly now, thanks a lot  :)


Now it is fixed I have two questions:
1. What am I doing wrong to have stuck to this old guix daemon all this time ? Shall I run this `sudo -i guix pull` regularly to 
keep my daemon up to date ? But then it looks like I am the only one who faced this issue, weird, no ? And problems should have 
started back in February, but I intensively worked on guix this summer, including some `guix pull`... If reasons are not too 
complicated, I am interested in getting some insights.

2. We have tried out several things. If I have a colleague in a similar situation, could you confirm the following procedure:

   /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix-daemon --version
   # should answer something like "guix-daemon (GNU Guix) 1.0.1"



   guix build \
    /gnu/store/n8vdar2f60mvq62g7mngpqwykbm9rw1q-guix-1.2.0rc2-1.0d4b1af

 
   sudo -i guix package --bootstrap -p /root/.config/guix/current \
    -r guix  -i  /gnu/store/n8vdar2f60mvq62g7mngpqwykbm9rw1q-guix-1.2.0rc2-1.0d4b1af

     systemctl restart guix-daemon

   /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix-daemon --version
   # should answer "guix-daemon (GNU Guix) 1.2.0rc2-1.0d4b1af"

   sudo -i guix pull

   systemctl restart guix-daemon


   /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix-daemon --version
   # should answer something like "guix-daemon (GNU Guix) 1.3.0-30.17134b9"

Agree ?

Thanks

Mat
