Trying to run "make dist" from Debian running guix... but it fails.
nckx confirmed to have similar issues.

$ guix shell --container --pure --development guix guix git imagemagick perl less glibc glibc-locales
...
$ export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 # ensure UTF-8 locale available in guix
$ git clean -dfx # remove any potential cruft
...
$ ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make -j1 dist
...
rm -f en@boldquot.gmo &&

I've also in the past implored to set up a ci job for "make dist" to
make it at least easier to figure out which commits trigger these
issues... how can I help move that forward? :)


live well,
