Hi guix,

guix describe (or guix anything) seems somehow to use guile without proper locale:

┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

whereas guile by itself does not complain, e.g. guile -v:

Poking around, I noticed guix invocation invokes a script that appears to use
glibc-utf8-locales-2.29 (see "===-NB:2.29->>>" arrow below)

$ which guix|xargs readlink -f|xargs cat -n

))) (let ((guix-main (module-ref (resolve-interface (quote (guix ui))) (quote guix-main)))) (begin (bindtextdomain "guix" "/gnu/store/0m73px55qzbx70v2k346igajrszzz8kb-guix-locale-guix") (bindtextdomain "guix-packages" "/gnu/store/c01aal3wvwlhi5h81rz14yasf70w04j2-guix-locale-guix-packages")) (apply guix-main (command-line))))$


## I'm wondering whether guix edit glibc-locales needs a 2.29 version of

HTH to fix both the problem and the flawed process that keeps re-producing
whack-a-mole games at every major update. (too grumpy to chase this
with strace etc. :)

Anyone have an explanation for the avahi connection above? How did that get
tangled in? Or should I look for file system corruption? ;-/

You closed 37900 though, not 37914, or am I missing something?

Sorry, maybe I was not clear on this. On 37914 there was a message that it
is ok to close 37900. See:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=37914#13

Sorry, 37900 was mine, but (IIRC) trying to make a helpful comment
on 37914 that my 37900 might be relevant, I also mentioned
that recent fixes to guix had made my 37900 difficulties go away,
so closing 37900 would be ok by me. Gábor apparently picked up on that :)

I'm still curious about the avahi entaglement I demonstrated in 37900 though ;-)

P.S. Is there a better way to post trying-to-be-helpful comments than to
add them to bug reports? Looking at archives, I see bits that could go
in turorials mixed with lots of friendly stuff that is just noise when
you want straight technical info.
