Hi Ludo and Pjotr,

I just ran into this bug as well:

   ./pre-inst-env guix build python-matplotlib
   @ build-started /gnu/store/33hf690qiwrvr0y59g9xwz6rpf3mmbj6-matplotlib-2.2.3.tar.gz.drv - x86_64-linux /var/log/guix/drvs/33//hf690qiwrvr0y59g9xwz6rpf3mmbj6-matplotlib-2.2.3.tar.gz.drv.bz2
   /gnu/store/1w41y8q12r3dw8iphl5rpkr508881y50-guix-daemon-0.15.0-2.8bbb79c/libexec/guix/download: line 8: /root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix: Permission denied
   /gnu/store/1w41y8q12r3dw8iphl5rpkr508881y50-guix-daemon-0.15.0-2.8bbb79c/libexec/guix/download: line 8: exec: /root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix: cannot execute: Permission denied
  ...
  (resulting build failure etc., nothing interesting)

This is on recent source code checkout (commit
fefe17b0888b467383ea91fed73a9586295c49f0) with a small modification
(update of hdf5 to 1.10.3).

My guix-daemon is started via systemd at boot time, so it should run as
root. It's from root's guix, which is about two weeks old and has not
caused any trouble before.

Konrad.
