Hi, this error happened here, too, also on a foreign distro, without any extra steps.

Migrating profile generations to '/var/guix/profiles/per-user/thorwil&#= 39;...
guix pull: error: symlink: File exists:
"/var/guix/profiles/per-user/thorwil/current-guix-1-link"

At the same time, a `sudo guix pull` works fine.

Thanks for this finding.
