On my GuixSD system:

# guix pull
Migrating profile generations to '/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root'...
guix pull: error: symlink: File exists: 
"/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix-1-link"

I tried booting into an older generation of the system, but the 
current-guix-?-link symlinks are still there. Even in the first generation of 
the system guix pull now fails. Apparently due to its inability to create 
symlinks that are already there.

I tried removing the symlinks, but that did not resolve the issue.

What can I do to recover?

Regards,
Henk
