changes to the repository.
@end quotation
After updating the repository, @command{make} might fail with an error
similar to the following example:
@example
error: failed to load 'gnu/packages/dunst.scm':
ice-9/eval.scm:293:34: In procedure abi-check: #<record-type <origin>>: record ABI mismatch; recompilation needed
@end example
This means that one of the record types that Guix defines (in this
example, the @code{origin} record) has changed, and all of guix needs
to be recompiled to take that change into account. To do so, run
@command{make clean-go} followed by @command{make}.
