Hi!
I'm relatively new to guix and I'm trying to setup my guix home config.
The problem I have is, that `guix home reconfigure` always gets stuck at
the end.
Output from guix:
```plaintext

And then its stuck forever until I ctrl-z out of it and kill the process.
Here's the same command, but with strace:

Last lines of the strace:

I'm running guix on Ubuntu 24.10 on an AMD64 CPU (Lenovo ThinkPad T14
Gen 1 AMD) with all the latest updates.
I did a `guix pull` just yesterday.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot or fix this?
Regards
nomike
