As I've wrapped my head around it, Guix doesn't believe in "upgrades" and "downgrades", just in changes in dependencies. So if the version string loses the leading "v" I suppose ASCIIbetically v2.49.1 is a higher value than 2.49.1, but Guix just sees that before it was v2.49.1 and now it's 2.50 so it's time for a change in installed files. Just like if you never run 'guix pull' on a new system it'll continue downgrading overtime. -- Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
