Ok, I don't know how to close this issue, but I managed to fix it with
guix package --roll-back. I took me so long to find that possibility
because both `guix system` and `guix home` have a `roll-back` *command*
while in packages it's a flag. I thought it was for individual packages
maybe.
I don't know how to close issues here, but someone feel free to close this.

I figured if my current profile is broken, somehow I should fix it or
roll it back. I also figure reinstalling my system won't work if I
keep my home directory.
I also still don't understand why I have two different profiles and I
don't know what is the different between profiles and whatever `guix
home` does.
But I tried some things:
$ guix home roll-back
guix home: error: cannot switch to home environment generation '-1'
$ guix home list-generations

$ guix home describe
guix home: error: no home environment generation, nothing to describe
So I guess I'm not using `guix home`.
Just to help me move forward, is there a summary on what profiles
actually are? Because they are separate from the guix system packages
that it also seems separate from guix home.
