I pulled from core-updates without problems, but "guix upgrade" failed.

First, when running "guix upgrade", I got the following message, which I think is confusing because I use GNU, not Guix on a foreign distro:

    $ guix upgrade
    guile: warning: failed to install locale
    hint: Consider installing the `glibc-utf8-locales' or `glibc-locales' package and defining `GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines:

         guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales
         export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"

    See the "Application Setup" section in the manual, for more info.

Then, everything was going alright, until building emacs-guix derivation failed:
