Hi!
Regarding the package https://packages.guix.gnu.org/packages/cutter/

Since Cutter 2.x versions, it switched from Radare2 to Rizin as a
backend (a fork of Radare2). Meanwhile, Radare2 developers renamed
their GUI to "Iaito":

The latest available Cutter release at this time (May 23, 2023) is
2.2.1, and the corresponding Rizin release is 0.5.2

Since Guix already has packaged Rizin, upgrading the Cutter package
should be straightforward:
https://packages.guix.gnu.org/packages/rizin
