This sort of problem has occurred for others. See, for example, this
post:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2018-12/msg00107.html
Perhaps you accidentally ran a command as root which changed ownership
of a symlink from "brad" to "root". It's possible to do that
accidentally because the "sudo" program is configured to behave
differently on different systems, so it may require slightly different
options than the examples you see from others or in the manual.
What are the outputs of these commands?
sudo -E env | grep HOME
and
sudo -HE env | grep HOME
Thank you,
