Hi!

If you do, as a regular user:

  guix pull
  sudo guix system reconfigure …

the ‘guix system reconfigure’, as part of the downgrade-detection
machinery, triggers an update of the channel checkout(s) in
~root/.cache, even though ~USER/.cache is already up-to-date.

One way to avoid it might be to special-case the checkout cache
directory for when ‘SUDO_USER’ is set.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.
