Hello all,

I recently started using a home profile, and have been using "guix
home reconfigure" after making changes; chiefly to add new packages.
However, I cannot figure out how to upgrade packages without doing a
"guix home reconfigure"

I tried the following, but it doesn't work:


$ guix upgrade -p ~/.guix-home/profile
guix upgrade: error: open-file: Read-only file system:
"/home/laurence/.guix-home/profile.lock"

$ guix package -p ~/.guix-home/profile -u
guix package: error: open-file: Read-only file system:
"/home/laurence/.guix-home/profile.lock"



Similarly, I would like to upgrade just a single package in my home
profile, but that produced the same error:

$ guix upgrade -p ~/.guix-home/profile emacs
guix upgrade: error: open-file: Read-only file system:
"/home/laurence/.guix-home/profile.lock"

$ guix package -p ~/.guix-home/profile -u emacs
guix package: error: open-file: Read-only file system:
"/home/laurence/.guix-home/profile.lock"


Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
