I wonder about the version. It should be 0.16.0 only after
installation. Did you ever do a 'guix pull'?

If you did pull, then you should have as version one of the latest
commit ids:

guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) e01bd1a67447c1f2a2b5b03e8ea8fbbccd2cd5bd
Copyright (C) 2019 the Guix authors

Compare also the copyright year!

paps was added this year, on: 2019-01-05 

If after a guix pull you still see the wrong guix version, maybe
something in your PATH is pointing to the wrong guix?

Look at `which guix`, it should be somehting like:

/home/user/.config/guix/current/bin/guix
