As a temporary work-around, you can do this in a channel: https://github.com/kat-co/guix-channels/blob/5c17bdd6c4ae801effdf1069df69ec4e2ce0a0dd/upstream/packages/golang.scm#L58-L59 https://github.com/kat-co/guix-channels/blob/5c17bdd6c4ae801effdf1069df69ec4e2ce0a0dd/upstream/packages/golang.scm#L818 Or maybe Ekaitz's suggestion might work. At any rate, work is underway to bring Guix's default Go up to 1.19: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2023-01/msg00097.html -- Katherine
