Maybe not a bug, but I'm getting the same backtrace when trying to run
./guix archive or ./guix package -i guix or ./guix pull.

Trying to install guix 0.10.0 binary tarball on nixos.

```nix
users.users = {
    guixbuild1 = {
      isSystemUser = true;
      group = "guixbuild";
    };
  };

  users.groups.guixbuild = {};
```

```sh
bin  sudo ./guix archive --authorize < ../share/guix/hydra.gnu.org.pub

/gnu/store/3g6zn8y5sfwywr4pqiwqrab735a0x4zl-guix-0.10.0/bin
