Again, sorry to be slow. But I really try to understand. :-) I have been annoyed by such things about different Guile with the website [1]. What I get with 353bdae (pre-1.2) or f4450e8 (post-1.2): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix install guile -p /tmp/guile The following package will be installed: guile 3.0.4 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- so why are you are saying 3.0.4 is not used when it is the default? Well, if I understand correctly, your point is the inconsistency between the default Guile (3.0-latest, i.e., currently 3.0.4) and the Guile (3.0, i.e., currently 3.0.2) used by most packages in guile-xyz.scm, especially when there is bytecode difference. Right? 1:<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/guix-artwork.git/commit/?id=05e384e811ab58f8d7f37ab92cf9dac416317af5> All the best, simon
