Ah got it.

I didn't have ~/.config/guix/current-1-link/bin/guix, so I ran
/var/guix/profiles/system-1-link/profile/bin/guix pull. That solved the
issue and I can now run "guix pull" and "guix environment guix"
again. Haven't tried "guix package -u" but I would assume that works as
well.

Thanks for the help!
