Hello, I think you need to install the 'glibc-utf8-locales' as the
'root' user, and then restart the 'guix-daemon' service.  The locale
warning coming from the 'substitute' program spawned by the
'guix-daemon', whose environment variables are controlled by the system
service manager, which set GUIX_LOCPATH to root's profile by default.
