I just reported this bug=2E

As a reaction to the recent guix pull update and the people who had a bad = experience I have an idea=2E

We create a new guix command that
1) analyze the current users paths and tell them if
1=2E1) they are good and warns them if they are not and propose a solution= in a user-friendly way=2E
2) gives them the possibility to scan and inherit a newer guix from anothe= r user without having to run guix pull, build a derivation etc=2E
3) (perhaps) educates the users about what happens when they run pull, rec= onfures, etc=2E as different users=2E
4) (perhaps) helps them to abuse the symlinks so that e=2Eg=2E roots profi= le follow the current user's or vice versa=2E

This would enable new users to do a sanity check on guix when they don'= ;t yet understand the way guix symlinks, store, pulling, etc=2E works=2E
This would also save time and bandwidth because you really don't want = to run guix pull multiple times as different users considering the time it = takes to compile=2E

What do you think?
