`guix pull` is not the command that you should be passing your manifest file to. If you are familiar with Debian-based distros, then `guix pull` is (somewhat) analogous to `apt update`: it gets updated package definitions (and also updates the guix program itself) but doesn't make any changes to packages you have installed. Also, I think you have misunderstood what the PROFILE option is referring to. A "profile" in Guix is a collection of packages. Usually you'll have a single profile for each user, and perhaps some ad-hoc profiles created behind the scenes by running `guix environment`. In several months of running Guix, I've never needed to use the --profile option. To actually use the manifest, you want to pass it to `guix package`. For example, here's the command I normally run to upgrade everything: $ guix pull && guix package -m ~/guix-packages.scm -u . Thanks, Josh
