Hi Martin,

What you=E2=80=99re seeing here is the error return by bind(2) while trying=
 to
bind the listening socket to /var/guix/daemon-socket/socket.
guix-daemon doesn=E2=80=99t try to interpret the error in any way, it just =
shows
you what the OS reported.

So I=E2=80=99m not sure there=E2=80=99s really an issue here.

WDYT?

Ludo=E2=80=99.
