Found it - I was missing the TZDIR env variable. Setting the 
following
fixes my issue:

export 
TZDIR=/gnu/store/19z4zyx0nykgcmj75izhsbi6z0ascq4i-tzdata-2022a/share/zoneinfo 

Does anyone know why the TZDIR variable was set properly on a guix
system, but not on a foreign distro? Is this expected?

Laurent
