Hello,
although I am afraid to raise allergic reactions, I must say that locales
do not seem to work any more on my guix on debian setting since the last
upgrade... Although I chose a utf8 locale, I am not seeing special characters
in mutt (taken from guix).
Hopefully it is just a simple matter of setting things up.
Currently I have this:
export LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale:$HOME/.guix-profile/share/locale
as was suggested at some point in time by the search path directives.
Do I need to add "2.22/" to them?
Andreas

according to the manual section “Locales” Guix’s libc respects
GUIX_LOCPATH.
libc suffixes each entry of @code{GUIX_LOCPATH} with @code{/X.Y}, where
@code{X.Y} is the libc version---e.g., @code{2.22}. This means that,
should your Guix profile contain a mixture of programs linked against
different libc version, each libc version will only try to load locale
data in the right format.
When using Guix on top of another distribution you should only set
GUIX_LOCPATH to make sure that only Guix programmes use the locales in
your profile. All other applications (those of the host system) will
continue to use the host system locales.
Hope this helps!
~~ Ricardo

My GuixSD returned to work with locale default (setted in
/etc/config.scm: (locale "en_US.UTF-8")) after upgrade.
Before I added in my .bashrc: LC_ALL=C to fix it. But it ins't required
to me.
Locale work now to me.

thanks for summarising it again, and for bearing with me not reading Ludovic's
announcement more carefully!
Would it make sense to declare a search path with respect to GUIX_LOCPATH
then?
Andreas

this worked for me. before exporting GUIX_LOCPATH I had ???? wherever I had
hebrew in my mail in mutt. After exporting GUIX_LOCPATH suddenly all the
hebrew was there, albeit left-to-right, but I haven't tried to fix that yet
in my .muttrc
