I have been able to reproduce this with on a fresh CentOS 7 host with a freshly installed Guix from the installation script. I see two error messages. The first occurs anytime a substitute is requested: ``` substitute: /gnu/store/q19l04vd2za80mk1845pz7r8cz29qk43-bash-minimal-4.4.23/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.utf8) ``` The second is in the guix-daemon logs: ``` guix-daemon[37753]: guile: warning: failed to install locale ``` I have included a full terminal session that I believe demonstrates the problem at the end of this message. >> This is >> because the default systemd unit for guix-daemon configures it to use the >> en_US.utf8 locale which is provided by glibc-utf8-locales (en_US.UTF-8 is >> in glibc-locales). > > Well, actually both en_US.utf8 and en_US.UTF-8 are both in > glibc-utf8-locales: > > --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > ~$ ls -lah /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/lib/locale/2.28/ | grep en_US > dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Jan 1 1970 en_US.utf8 > lrwxrwxrwx 3 root root 10 Jan 1 1970 en_US.UTF-8 -> en_US.utf8 > --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- ah :) > and glibc-locales > > --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > $ ls -lah /var/guix/profiles/per-user/giovanni/guix-profile/lib/locale/2.28/ | grep en_US > lrwxrwxrwx 33 root root 84 Jan 1 1970 en_US -> /gnu/store/acl2wxzzkkcjv74rlqswdf9p8pwddlmk-glibc-locales-2.28/lib/locale/2.28/en_US > lrwxrwxrwx 33 root root 94 Jan 1 1970 en_US.utf8 -> /gnu/store/94k5w17z54w25lgp90czdqfv9m4hwzhq-glibc-utf8-locales-2.28/lib/locale/2.28/en_US.utf8 > dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Jan 1 1970 en_US.UTF-8 > --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- > > So AFAIU glibc-locales provides both en_US.UTF-8 and en_US.utf8 that is > used by guix-daemon. That's not how I read the above lines. It looks like en_US.utf8 is a link to the 94k5…glib-utf8-locales-2.28 store item. On my system acl2wxzzkkcjv74rlqswdf9p8pwddlmk-glibc-locales-2.28 does not contain en_US.utf8 ``` $ pwd /gnu/store/acl2wxzzkkcjv74rlqswdf9p8pwddlmk-glibc-locales-2.28/lib/locale/2.28 $ find -iname '*en_US*' ./en_US ./en_US.UTF-8 Best, Jack [root@guix-jackhill-dev-01 ~]# type guix guix is hashed (/root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix) [root@guix-jackhill-dev-01 ~]# guix describe Generation 2 Jun 05 2019 16:52:04 (current) guix c0f6eeb repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git branch: master commit: c0f6eebb6d9f6ca9b62344f32ce5f82dab601d53 [root@guix-jackhill-dev-01 ~]# guix package -l Generation 4 Jun 05 2019 16:53:10 (current) hello 2.10 out /gnu/store/md2plii4g5sk66wg9cgwc964l3xwhrm9-hello-2.10 glibc-locales 2.28 out /gnu/store/acl2wxzzkkcjv74rlqswdf9p8pwddlmk-glibc-locales-2.28 [root@guix-jackhill-dev-01 ~]# systemctl stop guix-daemon [root@guix-jackhill-dev-01 ~]# systemctl start guix-daemon [root@guix-jackhill-dev-01 ~]# systemctl status -l guix-daemon ● guix-daemon.service - Build daemon for GNU Guix Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2019-06-05 16:54:24 EDT; 4s ago Main PID: 37753 (guix-daemon) Tasks: 1 (limit: 8192) CGroup: /system.slice/guix-daemon.service └─37753 guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild Jun 05 16:54:24 guix-jackhill-dev-01.lib.duke.edu systemd[1]: Started Build daemon for GNU Guix.
