‘sudo guix pull’ creates root-owned /home/$USER/.cache/guix/…

Guix,

After running ‘sudo guix pull’, some directories that guix

assumes to be writable are not:

$ guix pull

Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at

'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...

guix pull: error: Git error: failed to create temporary file

'/home/adom/.cache/guix/pull/pjmkglp4t7znuugeurpurzikxq3tnlaywmisyr27shj7apsnalwq/.git/objects/pack/pack_git2_dVwpVq':

Permission denied

$

Now Guix isn't doing anything wrong, per se, and that error

message will tip off most jaded Unixbeards, but how about a:

$ guix pull

warning: /home/<USER>/.cache/… is not writable by the current

user <USER>

hint: You might want to run ‘chown -R <USER>:<USER> /home/…’

[or just delete it outright? -nckx]

…

?

Thanks to adom` in #guix for posting that output.

Kind regards,

T G-R
