I have another update on this:
I even restored to a snapshot even before cloning guix at all (I only
had it installed).
I ran guix --version, got:
guix 0.15.0... (not pointing to any commit).
guix pull -l
no output, it was clean.
Also which guix did not show the path that had the "current" in it
(/usr/local/bin), but there I am still finding a symlink to
guix -> /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/bin/guix*
guix pull --fallback
(waited all day long...)
exported the new PATH variable
Same error when running:
guix pull -l
Migrating profile generations to '/var/guix/profiles/per-user/laura'...
guix pull: error: symlink: File exists:
"/var/guix/profiles/per-user/laura/current-guix-1-link"
guix --version:
guix (GNU Guix) 2e2b8635b99167554bc51a9d1067c808bcb63d37
