Since recently I see the following message on `guix pull` as normal user: $ guix pull Migrating profile generations to '/var/guix/profiles/per-user/xiaolong'... guix pull: error: symlink: File exists: "/var/guix/profiles/per-user/xiaolong/current-guix" And if I do: $ unlink /var/guix/profiles/per-user/xiaolong/current-guix And then try to do `guix pull` again, I get: Migrating profile generations to '/var/guix/profiles/per-user/xiaolong'... Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'... guix pull: error: Git error: failed open - '/home/xiaolong/.cache/guix/checkouts/pjmkglp4t7znuugeurpurzikxq3tnlaywmisyr27shj7apsnalwq/.git/FETCH_HEAD' is locked: Permission denied I don't know how to fix this. I know I recently updated my root profile running `guix pull` as root user. Perhaps that was wrong? For example: https://www.mail-archive.com/help-guix@gnu.org/msg09356.html mentions that one should not do so, but I only found that later and I did need to update the locales packages in my root profile. What should I do now, to get back to normal state? Regards, Zelphir
