A quick workaround is to run =E2=80=98guix-daemon=E2=80=99 from the =E2=80=
=98guix=E2=80=99 package.  So,
as root, you=E2=80=99d do:

  guix pull             # if you haven=E2=80=99t done it recently
  guix package -i guix  # to install or upgrade guix

Then make sure your systemd (or whatever) config file returns to
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/bin/guix-daemon as it
does when you install Guix from the binary tarball.

HTH!
