About the surprise, if one is confident with their Guix skill, then they look for a bug Guix-side; if one is less confident, then they look for a twist in their config. In both cases, it is a diversion – let as the reader’s judgment if this diversion is fun or a waste of time. :-) > Some profile hooks, such as ‘gdk-pixbuf-loaders-cache-file’, use the > package available in the closure (gdk-pixbuf in this case) rather than > the latest version.
