understanding, I found something related:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html= /help-guix/2017-10/msg00014.html

Thing is, I did
`ln -s /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/bin/guix
/usr/local/bin/guix`
during installation and that symlink is still intact. Yet, `guix pull`
and `sudo guix pull` are markedly different.
