Nope, I just changed home with

I tried with a container now:

./pre-inst-env guix environment --ad-hoc julia nss-certs --container
export SSL_CERT_DIR=$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/etc/ssl/certs/
export SSL_CERT_FILE=$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
export GIT_SSL_CAINFO="$SSL_CERT_FILE"
julia  -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.add("GZip"); using GZip'

Same error
┌ Error: curl_easy_setopt: 48
└ @ Downloads.Curl /tmp/guix-build-julia-1.6.1.drv-0/julia-1.6.1/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.6/Downloads/src/Curl/utils.jl:36

But GZip works (I tried the example on the homepage:
import GZip

fh = GZip.open("infile.gz")
s = readline(fh)

close(fh))

./pre-inst-env guix size julia
1205.6 MiB

glibc-locales does not appear in the closure size (I attached the
output).

The biggest change seams to lie in Julia itself (~+130Mb)
