Hi,

Thank Pierre to raise this issue.

When I put that in a test -- say tests/guix-pull.sh -- troubles
arises... The main one appears because there is no user (chroot
environment I guess). Currently, Guix looks at $USER and $LOGNAME then
goes in "default" and applies "Migrating" profile code. Note that it
appears too with non login shell as reported here [1], perhaps not
related.

What is the best:
    - set manually the variable USER to `whoami`?
or - change to scheme code to call `whoami`? Does Guile expose that?


All the best,
simon
