A manual upgrade is possible using a Git checkout, but it may be easiest to just remove Guix like https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Guix#Uninstalling_Guix and then reinstall. (Sorry for linking to the Arch wiki; are there uninstall/removal instructions in the manual that I missed? They should be more prominent.) Regards, Florian
