Stuck upgrading from Guix v0.12

Hi Guix, A lesson learnt from a previous update process [1] was; do not leave it too long between 'guix pull' updates.   However, I have one system running Ubuntu 16.04 and Guix v0.12 that I am trying to update.  As root: $guix package --list-installed glibc-utf8-locales 2.25out /gn
