I would strongly recommend to update everything at the same time: guix package -u .
I updated some days ago everything with guix package -u but today catfish didn´t work. After that, today I also tried to update both together. I made a mistake in my email earlier when I wrote:"that´s why I tried to update catfish and mate independently because together it breaks.
But also to try to update catfish and mate independently it fails." the second "independently is wrong. My mistake. Sorry.

What is a bit strange is this double version of mate; how is this possible? Is there anything else that propagates mate?
I don´t know what propagates mate. I uninstalled it some month ago and later reinstalled. How can I delete one mate? Why does gcr and gnome-keyring need two different versions of glib?
Apart from that, mate and catfish work together; I tried to run
guix shell -C mate catfish
and it succeeds.
