Hi Rutherther, Thanks for the clarification. I must say, though, that I definitely ran into issues with the root user’s guix being used when not using the -E flag. I do not remember now the exact conditions that led to that, but I am generally used to calling guix commands from within Emacs, either using ’M-x [e]shell’, or ’M-x async-shell-command’. It is possible that a bug in TRAMP (there were a few that caused issues with the guix environment that have since been fixed) might have been responsible. In any case, thanks to your warning, I checked under my $HOME/.cache/guix for files owned by root, and fortunately there seem to be none. I’ll try avoiding the -E flag and see if I run into the issues that caused me to switch to using it. The advice to use it was, iirc, something I found in this very mailing list.
Cheers, Irfan
