Re: How to install prerelease package versions (particularly Emacs)

I've had a problem like this before, when I was trying to build 
the Shepherd from git.

I'm pretty sure this is what I had, and it was a problem of trying 
to build in a directory that was already built. I think the daemon 
copies the files, but the permissions aren't right, so it can't 
write over the file that my user had created. From memory I solved 
it by doing `make distclean` before running the build with Guix.
