As far as I know, the only ways of getting the latest and greatest of Guix
is to use "guix pull" or a git checkout. The guix package inside guix
corresponds to a more or less random git commit after the last release,
and is only updated occasionally. In particular, the current version does
not contain all the recent security fixes. So I can only recommend against
using "guix package -i guix".
