Guix,
After running ‘sudo guix pull’, some directories that guix
assumes to be writable are not:
$ guix pull
Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at
'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...
guix pull: error: Git error: failed to create temporary file
'/home/adom/.cache/guix/pull/pjmkglp4t7znuugeurpurzikxq3tnlaywmisyr27shj7apsnalwq/.git/objects/pack/pack_git2_dVwpVq':
Permission denied
$
Now Guix isn't doing anything wrong, per se, and that error
message will tip off most jaded Unixbeards, but how about a:
$ guix pull
warning: /home/<USER>/.cache/… is not writable by the current
user <USER>
hint: You might want to run ‘chown -R <USER>:<USER> /home/…’
[or just delete it outright? -nckx]
…
?
Thanks to adom` in #guix for posting that output.
Kind regards,
T G-R
