That's some weird guix pull state.

The culprit, I think, is this:

(define (ensure-default-profile)
  (ensure-profile-directory)

  ;; In 0.15.0+ we'd create ~/.config/guix/current-[0-9]*-link symlinks.  Move
  ;; them to %PROFILE-DIRECTORY.
  ;;
  ;; XXX: Ubuntu's 'sudo' preserves $HOME by default, and thus the second
  ;; condition below is always false when one runs "sudo guix pull".  As a
  ;; workaround, skip this code when $SUDO_USER is set.  See
  ;; <https://bugs.gnu.org/36785>.
  (unless (or (getenv "SUDO_USER")
              (string=? %profile-directory
                        (dirname
                         (canonicalize-profile %user-profile-directory))))
    (migrate-generations %user-profile-directory %profile-directory))

where

  %profile-directory = "/var/guix/profiles/per-user/dannym"
  %user-profile-directory = "/home/dannym/.config/guix/current" (which is a
symlink to /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix)
