I think what is missing is a statement that the systemd unit for guix-daemon on foreign distos runs guix-daemon with a locale that is only provided in glibc-utf8-locales. I clairification could be something like, "The provided unit for running guix-daemon on a foreign distribution configures the daemon to run with a local that is only provided in glibc-utf8-locales. Therefore, glibc-utf8-locacles should be installed in root's profile, or the unit should be configured to use a locale of your choosing." Of course, that only makes sense if I'm correct about what is going on. I can propose a patch when Gio' and I figure it out. Best, Jack --925712948-703397131-1559796409=:5164--
