Could you please clarify? Does it do this when invoked by 'guix pull' or by './pre-inst-env guix pull', or in both cases? >> If you run “./pre-inst-env guix pull”, then you end up using (guix >> config) from your build tree, which is configured to use /usr/local/etc >> by default. That’s probably what happened, no? I don't use './pre-inst-env' so I don't think so. But maybe I did on the system from which I did 'system init' to create this one. Would that explain it?
