'guix upgrade' is expected to do nothing in this case: it only upgrades
the packages you have installed as the root user (which are none).

To upgrade the system, use 'guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm'.

Reading guix/scripts.scm, I think this is happening because you have
no packages in the [user] profile.

  
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/guix/scripts.scm?id=1d24cc6de674ff8cd6321eb373ab86c8028e2281#n158

Removing the (not age) check on line 176 might fix this.  Not sure if it
could have any adverse effects.

These have already expired: please include them in the message for
posterity with the next bug report (hopefully not too soon!).  :-)
