Thanks for the quick reply.  I was able to fix the issues that I had by
the following:

# guix system delete-generations
$ guix package -d
$ guix gc


Then I git cloned guix source, compiled from source, and

# sudo -E ./pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure \
../../guix-config/bare-bones-sway.scm

I was able to update guix pretty smoothly after that!

Thanks,

Joshua

P.S.  I'll close this bug report as well.
