Hi,

What do you mean by =E2=80=9Cunpacking the store=E2=80=9D?

I believe /var/guix/profiles/default is used because neither $USER nor
$LOGNAME were defined, right?

This was fixed here:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=3Dc20ba18304ee63f01=
895f092bb51bc2a9ce3303b

but it=E2=80=99s possible that you were running a version that lacks this f=
ix.

Also, there was a bug on Ubuntu where =E2=80=9Csudo guix pull=E2=80=9D woul=
d misbehave:

  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/36785

Perhaps that=E2=80=99s also what happened here?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
