Hi everyone,

after today's "guix pull", updating my profile fails because of a build
failure in rclone. That package hasn't been updated in four years, so
there must be something else that has changed to break it.

My Guix version:

  guix fe577ce
    repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    branch: master
    commit: fe577ce1293cab537d25461c05f14fda87f57774

The build log for rclone is attached. The first error message is

   Error: Received unexpected error:
          mkdir /homeless-shelter: permission denied
          failed to create a data directory 

Cheers,
  Konrad.
