Hi!
 I assumed user privileges should be enough for guix home, but guix home =
reconfigure home.scm returns this result:

/gnu/store/=E2=80=A6-home
guix home: error: mkdir: permission denied


This happens in a fresh and up to date VirtualBox VM with the only =
changes being a few installed packages (emacs, vim & tmux) and the guix =
home configuration.

Please tell me if I forgot any relevant piece of information.


Best regards,

Pascal=
