Since =E2=80=98guix-daemon=E2=80=99 runs as root, the =E2=80=98guix-daemon=
=E2=80=99 package=C2=B9 assumes
that ~root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix exists.  In fact, the only way
you can install the =E2=80=98guix-daemon=E2=80=99 package is by running =E2=
=80=98guix pull=E2=80=99, and
if you run =E2=80=98guix-daemon=E2=80=99 you run it as root, so ~root/.conf=
ig/guix
necessarily exists.

Or could it be that you=E2=80=99re running =E2=80=98guix-daemon=E2=80=99 fr=
om
~/.config/guix/current as non-root?  That would indeed fail.

In fact it may be enough to do:

  exec ~/.config/guix/current/bin/guix =E2=80=A6

instead of:

  exec ~root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix =E2=80=A6

in that =E2=80=98install=E2=80=99 phase of =E2=80=98guix-daemon=E2=80=99.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
