Hello, Paul reported on IRC that his guix behaved strangely. Upon investigation we found that the following happens (on a Guix system), when logged in as regular user (not root): $ readlink ~/.config/guix/current /var/guix/profiles/per-user/dannym/current-guix $ sudo -E guix pull $ readlink ~/.config/guix/current /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix You can also rm -f ~/.config/guix/current after that and do everything above again and it will happen again. It even happens when guix pull has nothing to do. That doesn't seem right. We should at least try to prevent this from happening, or warn or something. The guix package manager that did that is: $ sudo -E guix describe Generation 64 Aug 22 2020 11:41:04 (current) guix dad963a repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git branch: master commit: dad963a4393ea51409baa63817b26b449ed58338 heads 50b97d4 repository URL: https://github.com/daym/heads-guix.git branch: wip-musl commit: 50b97d446ebafd0be7a0e19d87cd236882093244 $ sudo -i # guix describe Generation 64 22.
