Hello, I am running a multi-user system, and use guix-home-service-type
to setup the user home directories.

One of the users is the "main" user (A) that handle the guix pull, the
editing and setup of system configuration files etc, the other (B) is a user
account that should just be managed by user A.

The problem i'm having is that the packages that user B sees, seems to
be independent of running guix pull and a subsequent sudo -E guix system
reconfigure on user A.

Relative lines from reconfigure:

shepherd: Service user-homes has been started.
shepherd: Starting service guix-home-b...
shepherd: Service guix-home-b has been started.

When i run this in a virtual machine, the user B is instantiated with
the latest version of all packages, however it seems there is some state
persisting in user B that prevents it from seeing the latest version of
packages as provided by the pull and system reconfigure.

I do not want to run an extra guix pull in user B, since this feels like
a waste of resources, and i do want the profiles to be always in sync.

Is there some option i'm missing?

Best, Kristoffer Ström.
