This was not a guix bug. Not so fast! I just did the same yesterday using the install-script but on a RedHat server, and my /root/.config/guix/current pointed at /var/guix/profiles/per-user/MYOTHERUSER/current-guix instead of /var/guix-profiles/per-user/root/current-guix which it should be pointing at! I also think this is related to https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2020-01/msg00241.html Best regards, David > > Best regards, > Mikael
