         How do you determine the version? Via the graphical info
                menu or on the commandline?

through the menu, in the graphical way

        
        What's the output of type -a icecat?

gfp@Tuxedo ~$ type -a icecat
icecat ist /home/gfp/.guix-profile/bin/icecat

to open via startmenu or Alt+F2 or through the graphical way or through the terminal opens always the older version of icecat 91.5 That's weird. How do you determine the version? Via the graphical info
menu or on the commandline?

Can you give us the output of
 > echo $PATH?

gfp@Tuxedo ~$ echo $PATH?
/run/setuid-programs:/home/gfp/.config/guix/current/bin:/home/gfp/.guix-profile/bin:/home/gfp/.guix-profile/sbin:/run/current-system/profile/bin:/run/current-system/profile/sbin?
What's the output of type -a icecat?



If I run in root:
root@Tuxedo ~# guix package --list-installed
nothing comes up

Hi,
I upgraded my system and IceCat updated to 91.6 but when opening it, the version 91.5 opens.

How do you open it? Via a startmenu or another graphical way? I use xfce4-panel, and when I added a firefox starter, it automatically saved the absolute path to the binary. In guix, this means it will always point to that one version.

What version starts if you launch it from terminal (or Alt+F2)?
Can you give us the output of
echo $PATH?

Did I make a mistake and install packages by chance in root and thatś why my versions stay on the installed ones without being able in my user account to upgrade to newer versions?

If you run guix pull as your user and not as root, it installs the programs in your profile. Login as root (sudo -i) and let guix list the installed packages to see roots packages.


If so, whatś the best way to delete my packages in root, which don´t need to be there?, so that, if I upgrade in my user account, the packages get updated.
$ sudo -i
# guix package -r icecat ...


If there is an other mistake, I would be glad to know what to do.
