Hello,

Today, after finish running `guix --uprade`, I find that the bash prompt
become `I have no name!@debian`. Also, running emacs gives
`Error (initialization): User alexvong1995 has no home directory`. Does
anyone know what is the problem? I run guix on foreign distro (debian
testing).

Cheers,
Alex

This may happen if you don't run nscd.  See
