Problem should go away if I can get locales working, but despite trying what purportedly has worked for others, no luck. I hope it will be obvious to someone from the below ;-) $ # first some context: $ uname -rv 5.1.15-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 25 04:49:39 UTC 2019 $ guix -V guile: warning: failed to install locale guix (GNU Guix) a17fe3f01ac160a576135b03d23bc098ebf6fb31 Copyright (C) 2019 the Guix authors License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.
