Could you please tell us what =E2=80=9Cguix --version=E2=80=9D says?  This =
might make it
easier for us to tell you how to get around this problem.

There was a recent change to the storage location of the profile used by
=E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D.  It would previously be stored in the home dir=
ectory and
has now been changed to be stored where other profiles are stored.

The error message seems to say that a migration to the new location had
already happened, so it shouldn=E2=80=99t attempt to do this again.
