Maybe I am doing something wrong, I get:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix refresh -l gnupg | cut -f1 -d':'
Building the following 1491 packages would ensure 2880 dependent packages are
rebuilt
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So the impact is ~10% of all the packages. From a quick look, some
packages are intensive to rebuild, to my knowledge.
Are you proposing to graft?
Cheers,
