I run `sudo guix pull` every day that I reconfigure, and it works.

I don't think it makes sense to run `guix package -u` as root, because
reconfiguring takes care of all that. Root should not need any packages
that aren't in the OS configuration.

I'm hoping I won't have to use an older system generation or an older
Guix commit, because as long as `sudo guix pull` works, I should be
able to reconfigure as soon as someone fixes this bug (assuming my
backtrace is enough for someone to locate the bug).

Current output of `sudo guix describe`:

  guix 32c055f
    repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    branch: master
    commit: 32c055fd32059cbe0ab6f94eb3ef3a8c7e49dc92

So there's been further commits since I first encountered the problem.
Other than that, there's not much info here.

For what it's worth, I'm able to update my user profile without any
issue.
