I just installed guix on a foreign distro. In my $HOME I didn't have a
.config directory.

(ins)efraimf@tux03:~$ time guix pull --commit=1b3dcb3dd266fda9732b7a8194bd24e80043fb7a
guix pull: error: while creating symlink '/home/efraimf/.config/guix/current': No such file or directory

Only after creating $HOME/.config/guix did guix pull work.

This happens on Guix System too, at least when starting with `guix
system vm-image`.

Hello everyone,

I've encountered this issue with a fresh installation of Guix System,
from the following ISO: `gk3mcnyallckwvi8f33idv2klj3lj8nw-image.iso`.

Thanks for your great work,

Edgar Vincent

I think the bug is fixed for "current" Guix, from the Git master branch.
Can you clarify, what commit of did you use to create that ISO? You can
check with `guix describe` or `guix --version`.

I downloaded the aforementioned ISO file from guix.gnu.org.

I'm sorry about that, I should have been more specific. At the time of
installation, I was using commit a53f711422f63d7e32b8639b968cf00bcc69ffea.

Thanks!
