It seems the local build aspect is broken for me for glibc-locales so to solve this, as root I did:

# guix archive --authorize < \
     ~root/.config/guix/current/share/guix/ci.guix.gnu.org.pub

It seems to have fixed my issue.

I uninstalled glibc-locales and tried to reinstall and now I cannot
reinstall it.

I have the Guix package manager installed on Trisquel 9 (Ubuntu 18.04 based) and whenever I do "guix pull", "guix package -u", etc. As a first response, I see the following warning -- "guile: warning: failed to install locale".

I have installed the glibc locales package already. How do I resolve this? I suspect this is related to why some programs like "peek" (a GIF recording app) show me broken UI characters.

Do you have installed twice glibc-locales?

 1. in your user default profile; what you already did, I guess.
 2. in your root profile (roughly speaking the locale used by the
daemon) -- maybe adjust systemd or other.

Well, this should fix the issue when you invoke "guix <command>".
For the other issue (peek), I do not know.

Hope that helps,
simon
