Re: New ‘guix pull’ /root/.config/current/bin/guix: Permission denied

[Pjotr Prins]

There are still some rough edges and I am stuck again. Running daemon:

  /root/.config/current/bin/guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild --version
  guix-daemon (GNU Guix) 0.15.0-1.4876bc8

Running client as normal user

  ~/.config/guix/current/bin/guix --version
  guix (GNU Guix) ecba50bb79a49b317c4b1e718f4732b36438227f

(which is the latest pull) 

and

  ~/.config/guix/current/bin/guix pull

Fails to build with below 
/gnu/store/8ahlc84zaj0iw9jpsdpa9wx4ms0s9cma-guix-daemon-0.15.0-1.4876bc8/libexec/guix/download:
 line 8: /root/.config/current/bin/guix: Permission denied

This is a blocker since I can't build from source either. 
/root/.config/current/bin/guix exists and gives

     guix (GNU Guix) ecba50bb79a49b317c4b1e718f4732b36438227f

Apparently the user client need to access /root. What to do? 

Note my environment is pretty bare.
