Then I install a few packages using 'guix package -i ' and start t= rying them out by setting my path: export PATH=3D"$HOME/.guix-profile/bin:$PATH" - To my delight, us= ing guix I can install lots of packages and run them. =20 After a while I run "guix package -i guix" which installs just fine. But = sadly now guix is broken. Wheneve I run any command I get: guix package: error: failed to connect to `/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket':= No such file or directory Shouldn't we have a --localstatedir option or an environment variable so th= at guix knows where to find its state dir?
