I would usually update everything together, which is safer; updating only some of your packages can cause problems with contradicting propagated inputs. This said, I sometimes postpone updates of big packages if no binary substitute is available yet, for instance like so: guix package --do-not-upgrade icecat ungoogled-chromium -u . Then you can still later do a guix package -u icecat ungoogled-chromium when the binaries become available. Andreas
