Profile changes after ‘guix upgrade --dry-run’ |

Hello! I recently had some issues with my setup, which had me rolling
my generations back and forth in attempt to fix them. My configuration
was at fault, but I did find an unrelated bug in Guix while at it:
When I run ‘guix package --rollback’, Guix switches to the previous
generation. But then, when I run ‘guix upgrade --dry-run’ to see what
would change again, my profile (~/.guix-profile/etc/profile) is actually
upgraded to the new generation. I should expect ‘--dry-run’ to leave my
profile untouched.
$ guix describe
Generation 17 Jan 13 2022 18:00:35 (current)
guix 175915b
repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
branch: master
commit: 175915bb4417e198f6b500901dcef710a0011be9
I am using Guix as an additional package manager on top of
Trisquel GNU/Linux 9 ‘Etiona’.
Best of wishes

That was an interesting corner case, fixed in

Thanks!
