Maybe I am doing something wrong, I get: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix refresh -l gnupg | cut -f1 -d':' Building the following 1491 packages would ensure 2880 dependent packages are rebuilt --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So the impact is ~10% of all the packages. From a quick look, some packages are intensive to rebuild, to my knowledge. Are you proposing to graft? Cheers, simon
