Not so fast! I just did the same yesterday using the install-script but
on a RedHat server, and my /root/.config/guix/current pointed at
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/MYOTHERUSER/current-guix instead of
/var/guix-profiles/per-user/root/current-guix which it should be
pointing at! I also think this is related to
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2020-01/msg00241.html
I actually also think that there *is* a bug. But in my case it was either a lack in the documentation of how to setup .guix-profile or lack of getting this done automatically. This forced me into guesswork.
David, for your problem, I'm wondering if it couldn't be related to what everyone has asked me: how you become root.
Best regards,
