        A work-around that someone on IRC discovered was running: ‘ln -s
~/.config ~/config’ before running ‘guix home reconfigure …’ and this
seems to work. Afterwards the ~/config symlink can be destroyed and
subsequent reconfigures work as expected.

        That said, in my own configs I have only ever used
‘home-zsh-service-type’ and ‘home-xdg-configuration-files-service-type’
for managing my dotfiles. I don’t have explicit dot or dotless files
anywhere. I still ran into the issue and had to use the “fix” above.
