At the very least I am used to it: guix has always been in my profile, and has always worked well that way. But I do see how this could cause various failures after a guix pull, because the guix in my profile has to work with the updated stuff the pull has placed under ~/.config. So perhaps the real mystery is that I haven't had any trouble before. And I wonder what strategy to adopt to avoid it - remove guix from my profile? There was a good reason to install it last year, but I don't remember what it was. If installing guix into a profile is not a good idea, perhaps the guix package should disappear or be renamed to something that indicates its true purpose? BTW, since I updated my profile with the pre-inst-env guix, I now also have a new guix in my profile and the build failure has disappeared. Konrad.
