Hi Julien, 

Sorry if I couldn't describe my issue well. yes thats exactly what I meant to 
say.
so as I understand: 

1.  we can get list of upgradable packages using:   `guix package -n -u`

2. globally available packages are located in system profile located 
in `/run/current-system/profile` and we can't check for upgrades just by
pointing the profile location. 

Thanks again for your response.
