Librewolf and Icedove won't start. Produces the following error:

~/.guix-home/profile/bin/librewolf: symbol lookup error:

This happens post-upgrade of newly merged GNOME upgrade, which comes
with core updates such as glib.  It should go away if you reboot (I've
had it as well).

Closing, as I don't know what could be done on our side to fix this.  If
someone has idea, please chime in!

The current requirement for users when upgrading their system with
incompatible library versions is to reboot their machine, which can
sometimes now be done rather quickly with

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
sudo reboot --kexec
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
