Yes, all packages in a guix home configuration will be from the same channel(s) generation (updated by guix pull), while with guix package you can update packages independently and thus out of sync.

I'm under the assumption that guix package should rerun update-mime-database after any change to the manifest, so this should not have happened. I'm relaying this thread to guix-devel so people who know better can give you a more satisfactory answer. Best wishes, Phong
