Specifically, the message “Guix is too old and cannot be upgraded”
appears when you’re running ‘guix pull’ from Guix before 0.15.0,
released in July 2018.  (That seemed like prehistory to me but I realize
it’s only a bit more than one year old.)

But like Ricardo wrote, such problems are unlikely to show up again
because ‘guix pull’ since 0.15.0 is designed to handle all sorts of
bumps into future Guix revisions.

Anyway, the simplest option for now, melon, may be to remove your
current Guix installation and install 1.0 instead.
