Re: locale warnings

[Hinko Kocevar <Hinko.Kocevar@esss.se>]

Hi Oleg,

I just tried this in a root terminal (not using sudo):

obzen ~ # export GUIX_LOCPATH=/root/.guix-profile/lib/locale
obzen ~ # ~root/.guix-profile/bin/guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild


and it does not print warnings, as advertised, when using guix tool.

Thanks,
hinko

Did adding a GUIX_LOCPATH environment variable to the
guix-daemon.service help?  I have the same issue on GNU/Linux Mint
workstation, but this tip didn't help me.
