I get the meaning of "stubbing" but I don't know how to code in Guile,
sorry ? cannot help here

Meanwhile is there anything I can do to upgrade my guix-damon (on
foreign distro), I never upgraded my root default profile since I first
installed Guix on this machine so now I'm stuck at

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

g@renaissance:~$ guix describe -p /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix
Generation 1    Jul 20 2020 02:08:33    (current)
g@renaissance:~$ /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix-daemon 
--version
guix-daemon (GNU Guix) 1.0.0

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This machine is trying to build ungoogled-chromium even if I'm pretty
sure there is a substitute available (installed on another machine with
the very same Guix channel) and I suspect it depends on "something"
related to the guix-daemon


Thanks! Gio'
