Well, it depends on what you already have in this profile. Yes, the
message can be confusing. :-)
BTW, instead of,
$ guix package --upgrade emacs
I think it is better to upgrade the complete manifest. See [1] for some
details. For instance,
When partially upgrading a profile, conflicts may arise (due to
diverging dependencies between the updated and the non-updated
packages) and they can be annoying to resolve
manually. Manifests remove this problem altogether since all
packages are always upgraded at once.
