Sorry, I don't know any further.
Try executing
/gnu/store/hchyj7faw7f98njsja27i89v3jk7bbqm-icecat-91.6.0-guix0-preview1/lib/icecat/icecat
--version and see what it reports. If it says 91.5, I cannot imagine,
what causes this.
Hi,
Today I did a guix pull, guix -u and sudo guix system reconfigure
etc/config.scm
If I open icecat in the graphical way through an icon it gives me the
version 91.5
I'll repeat what I said earlier:
I use xfce4-panel, and when I added a firefox starter, it automatically
saved the absolute path to the binary. In guix, this means it will
always point to that one version.
This means, you need to change the path saved inside the icon.
I don't know whether you use a starter in xfce4-panel or another way,
but try rightclicking it and see, if you find a menu where you can set a
commandpath. Then set it to /home/gfp/.guix-profile/bin/icecat.
It is currently probably set to
/gnu/store/hchyj7faw7f98njsja27i89v3jk7bbqm-icecat-91.6.0-guix0-preview1/lib/icecat/icecat
This usability problem stems from the way guix works. One would need to
touch these gui softwares to make them automatically run the version of
the current guix profile.
Icedove starting in the graphical way through an icon it gave me the
version 91.5, starting it from the menu and from the terminal it asked
me to set up an email address and the following message: (today I
downloaded 91.6, so it should open that one, but it didn’t)
With the channel and manifest from below I ran
$ guix time-machine -C g.channel -- package -m g.manifest
$ guix package -I
icedove 91.6.1 out
/gnu/store/nmlxvxl2640r74fg9mlacmavpwg2n7xa-icedove-91.6.1
$ icedove --version
Thunderbird 91.6.1
The installed version is correct. It's just the gui that launches an
older version. You can fix that the way I described above.
Hth,
Martin
