Ok it seems I am doing it right then. When I run "./pre-inst-env guix shell julia julia-gr" then "julia" and finally "pkg> add Plots" then Pkg just reinstalls GR as a dependency of Plots. If I run "pkg> add GR" the GR package also gets reinstalled. With the patch it should use GR from the guix package instead, right ? Maybe this has to do with newer version of GR being available ?
