> What do you mean by “unpacking the store”? I'm actually deploying Guix from the archive at https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.tar.xz in a Docker container.

The $USER environment variable was indeed not set into the Docker image. Now that it is done, Guix does not complain about the profile anymore. > but it’s possible that you were running a version that lacks this fix. That's is what I started to understand after playing around a bit. The Guix version provided into the archive is old so it was failing back to the "default" profile. Once upgraded, the "new" Guix was trying to switch back to the "root" profile. Now with the $USER environment variable set all is working great.
