Last week (or maybe two weeks ago, but no sooner than that) I ran “sudo
apt install guix” on a laptop with Debian and I followed the advice to
pull to the commit corresponding to 1.3.0.

Every time at the end I got this git error: “the requested type does not
match the type in the ODB”.

Would it have been any different had I pulled directly to the latest
version…?  Or is this unrelated?

(In the end I removed the Debian package and installed with
https://guix.gnu.org/install.sh; this was trickier than it should have
been, because the Debian package left behind a broken init service and
some state that I deleted manually.)
