I tried adding 'glibc-locales' to my system profile, and got this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ERROR: union-build: collision between file and directories ((files ("/gnu/s=
tore/nda1ih2iy8likfipl62afiqs6jwdsfxi-glibc-locales-2.20/share/locale/zh_CN=
/LC_TIME")) (dirs ("/gnu/store/mgfqcbm31rh738z13xlwh9ld9dm2vfvz-coreutils-8=
.23/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_TIME")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Indeed, in coreutils "share/locale/zh_CN/LC_TIME" is a directory
containing a symbolic link "coreutils.mo" pointing to
"../LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo", whereas in glibc-locales
"share/locale/zh_CN/LC_TIME" is a binary file.

Any ideas how to resolve this conflict?
