I was toying around the idea of having guix as a compatibility layer for an HPC software stack, similar to what Compute Canada had with nix before they switched to Gentoo ( http://users.ugent.be/~kehoste/eum18/easybuild_nix_cvmfs_compute_canada_bart_oldeman.pdf), hence the weird setup. I am aware that the Guix HPC guys recently published a layer between modules and guix shell, which I find interesting.
It took a little while to try your command, as I built guix using Arch's package manager, which doesn't install pre-inst-env. Also, I built in a chroot, and pre-inst-env contains hard-coded references to the build directory. I guess I am a very weird user :) But even with that I still get the same errors. I don't want to keep the two stores simultaneously, I'm fine with fully destroying the old one (although I would be interested in knowing how to properly rollover from one store to another). Thanks!
