This is because ‘transaction-upgrade-entry’ in (guix profiles)
conservatively assumes that any package with propagated inputs, like
‘python-wrapper’, always has to be upgraded:
(case (version-compare candidate-version version)
((>)
(manifest-transaction-install-entry
(package->manifest-entry pkg output)
transaction))
((<)
transaction)
((=)
(let ((candidate-path (derivation->output-path
(package-derivation (%store) pkg))))
;; XXX: When there are propagated inputs, assume we need to
;; upgrade the whole entry.
(if (and (string=? path candidate-path)
(null? (package-propagated-inputs pkg)))
transaction
(manifest-transaction-install-entry
(package->manifest-entry pkg output)
transaction)))))
I think we can refine this code.
Thanks for your report,
Ludo’.
