Hi,
After I launch an EC2 instance using the official Debian 10 Buster AMI
and run the attached script, which should match the installation
instructions in the manual, the locales don't seem to be set up
properly. For example,
```
$ guix package -i nss-certs
guile: warning: failed to install locale
hint: Consider installing the `glibc-utf8-locales' or `glibc-locales' package and
defining `GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines:
guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales
export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"
See the "Application Setup" section in the manual, for more info.
guix package: warning: Consider running 'guix pull' followed by
'guix package -u' to get up-to-date packages and security updates.

There 3 points:
a) "guix install glibc-utf8-locales" as root because of the daemon
and restart it. (depending on your system init, an extra config should
be required)
b) "guix install glibc-utf8-locales" as regular user
This should fix the locales issues.
Note that depending on your locale, glibc-utf8-locles should not
provide it. (The term utf8 could be misleading). But en_US is provided
by it.

c) Try:
guix install nss-certs --fallback
Hope that helps,

I modified the script to run the following commands as root:
```
guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales
systemctl restart guix-daemon
```
> b) "guix install glibc-utf8-locales" as regular user
The script was already doing this.

When I run guix, it still produces the same locale messages:
```
$ guix package -I
guile: warning: failed to install locale
hint: Consider installing the `glibc-utf8-locales' or `glibc-locales' package
and defining `GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines:
guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales
export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"
See the "Application Setup" section in the manual, for more info.
glibc-utf8-locales 2.29 out /gnu/store/n79cf8bvy3k96gjk1rf18d36w40lkwlr-glibc-utf8-locales-2.29
```

The --fallback option works. Thank you for the suggestion.

Hum? Did you set GUIX_LOCPATH?

Is 'admin' the regular user or another name for the 'root' account?
On the Debian foreign distro, for GUIX_LOCPATH, I have:
- root account: /root/.guix-profile/lib/local
- regular user: /home/kikoo/.guix-profile/lib/locale
Hope that helps,
simon

'admin' is the regular user.
I think the problem is that LANG is set to 'C.UTF-8' by default. If I
change the contents of /etc/default/locale from
LANG=C.UTF-8
to
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
I no longer see the error installing nss-certs.
