OK now I understand too, thanks!
yes, Debian starts daemons via systemd and this issue is easily fixed by
installing glibc-utf8-locales in the guix default root profile:
sudo -i
guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales
sudo systemctl restart guix-daemon.service
after doing so, when I "guix build emacs --dry-run" the warning I
reported disappeared
I think a similar approach should resolve similar issues with other init
systems
since I used the binary install script [1] I think we should easily
patch that so that it also "guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales" for lazy
users like me :-)
I'm going to test the binary install script on a brend new Debian 9 lxc
container since I found other possible improvements
this is also not clearly stated in
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Application-Setup.html#Locales-1
do it need to be fixed?
AFAIU adding "export GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale" to
root's .profile or .bash_profile is not strictly needed (unless you want
to install and run packages as root user), so I'd _not_ automate this
via the binary install script or document this
Thanks!
Giovanni
