Hi everyone,

I have committed the fix in d445c30ea6 and updated the guix package
definition in ecbde6505c to ensure that the next time "guix pull" is
run, the new guix-daemon version will be used.

OK - I did this in d445c30ea6.

growing in size.  It's good to know of a way to do that.

Thank you for your help and have a nice day!  I'm closing this bug
report.
