"which guix" says

/home/hagbard/.config/guix/current/bin/guix

"guix upgrade" gave

hagbard at ckup:~/Opstk/obt/Emacs/emacs-30.1-obtdrk$ guix upgrade
guix upgrade: warning: Consider running 'guix pull' followed by
'guix package -u' to get up-to-date packages and security updates.

"guix package -u" gave

hagbard at ckup:~/Opstk/obt/Emacs/emacs-30.1-obtdrk$ guix package -u
guix package: warning: Consider running 'guix pull' followed by
'guix package -u' to get up-to-date packages and security updates.

And "guix install emacs-next" only installed 

The following package will be installed:
   emacs-next 28.0.50-0.2ea3466
