Hi Guix,

I don't know if this is the cause of something broken on my side or an
issue with upstream guix. When I run "guix gc --vacuum-database" without
being root, I get such an error :

>> guix gc --vacuum-database

zsh: exit 1     guix gc --vacuum-database

Other commands have a nice way to indicate that sudo is necessary for
this command, if this is the case. If that is not reproducible, the
issue is probably on my side, and I have no clue about how I can fix
this.
