This is an unsafe thing to do.

This is due to an ABI change a few weeks ago.  Just run “make clean-go
&& make”.

I can’t seem to reproduce it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix package -p foo -i address@hidden
The following package will be installed:
   python       2.7.13  
/gnu/store/p0ygwmwspjpn4pwnla3p26n0xrypzdxv-python-2.7.13

Could you check if the problem occurs with current Guix, and if it does,
whether the above command is easy to reproduce it?

Thanks for reporting it!
