I believe we'll have to update the package as well. For example on
aarch64 I can do a `guix pull' just fine, however `guix system reconfigure'
fails because it builds the full guix package, including running the
tests.
You've mentioned that `guix pull' was not working for you on ppc64
though right? I wonder why, is this a difference between using Guix as
the OS as opposed to a package manager on top of another OS?
Thanks,
Pierre
