No, that will create root-owned files in ~/.cache. I always get trouble using sudo -E because programs tend to create root-owned files under ~.

There's no need for -E as guix doesn't need any environment variable from the user to reconfigure, everything is self contained in the `guix` binary and the system configuration file.
