Guix,

After running =E2=80=98sudo guix pull=E2=80=99, some directories that guix=
=20
assumes to be writable are not:

  $ guix pull
  Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at=20
  'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...
  guix pull: error: Git error: failed to create temporary file=20
  '/home/adom/.cache/guix/pull/pjmkglp4t7znuugeurpurzikxq3tnlaywmisyr27shj7=
apsnalwq/.git/objects/pack/pack_git2_dVwpVq':=20
  Permission denied
  $

Now Guix isn't doing anything wrong, per se, and that error=20
message will tip off most jaded Unixbeards, but how about a:

  $ guix pull
  warning: /home/<USER>/.cache/=E2=80=A6 is not writable by the current=20
  user <USER>
  hint: You might want to run =E2=80=98chown -R <USER>:<USER> /home/=E2=80=
=A6=E2=80=99=20
  [or just delete it outright? -nckx]
  =E2=80=A6

?

Thanks to adom` in #guix for posting that output.

Kind regards,

T G-R
