Hello,

my reply does not quite answer your question, but here is how I do it
by circumventing the problem... I have never quite understood sudo and
always used su.

So in a first step, if I am limited to sudo, I do "sudo su -" to
become root.

Then either I use a git checkout of guix as root, or I cd to my
regular user's git checkout. Then ./pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure ...

Andreas
