bug#29238: guix pull fails on version 0af94ad52f65a5a62febd203e431f17642f07577

[Benjamin Andresen]

Hello everyone,

guix pull fails for me since an update.
But only on accounts that I haven't recently done a guix pull on. (Since the last reconfigure AFAIR.)

civodul on #guix already seemingly identified the issue.

Here are the steps and the environment:

address@hidden ~# guix –version | head -1
guix (GNU Guix) 0af94ad52f65a5a62febd203e431f17642f07577
address@hidden ~# guix pull

This is from the working user account:
address@hidden ~$ guix –version | head -1
guix (GNU Guix) 0af94ad52f65a5a62febd203e431f17642f07577

[guix pull omitted but it works fine]

address@hidden ~$ tree -L 2 {.cache,.config}/guix/
.cache/guix/
└── pull
└── pjmkglp4t7znuugeurpurzikxq3tnlaywmisyr27shj7apsnalwq
.config/guix/
└── latest -> /gnu/store/f3kjix81n073j7ap1fpwh5xlzak4rsaq-guix-latest

Thanks in advance for looking into it!
