Found the cause.
To reconfigure I "sudo -s" first. But if I run
> GUIX_PROFILE="~/.guix-profile" && . "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
guix profile is sourced but PATH is still the original users path und
guix is found there (causing the error).
If I do
> GUIX_PROFILE="/root/.guix-profile" && echo "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
the result is as expected:
> /root/.guix-profile/etc/profile
but PATH is not updated afterwards (=> error).
If do do a regular login as root then everything is fine!
Cheers,
Alex
