A recently committed fix enabled me to fix my problem with "guile: failed to install locale"
that was triggered by any invocation of guix:
guix pull ## make sure the fix is in! ;-)
guix install avahi ## likely you won't need this first, but it stood in my way per bug#37900
## (after the fix, I might not have needed it either for the locale upgrade, idk).
guix install glibc-utf8-locales ## if your locale is within '("de_DE" "el_GR" "en_US" "fr_FR" "tr_TR")
If you have an exotic locale outside of those, you may have to install the big one:
guix install glibc-locales
A snip from guix edit glibc-utf8-locales:
---------------------------------------
;; tests---e.g., in Guile's i18n tests.
'("de_DE" "el_GR" "en_US" "fr_FR" "tr_TR"))
#t))))
(native-inputs `(("glibc" ,glibc)
("gzip" ,gzip)))
(synopsis "Small sample of UTF-8 locales")
(description
"This package provides a small sample of UTF-8 locales mostly useful in
test environments.")
---------------------------------------
HTH, in case your "guile: failed to install locale" hasn't gone away yet :)
