Hi Nadya,

Please add the package to an existing package module (one of the files
in =E2=80=9Cgnu/packages/=E2=80=9D).  Modules usually hold more than a sing=
le package.

To make this work with your package definition you need to bind your
package expression to a public variable:

    (define-public tcalc
      (package
        (name "tcalc")
        =E2=80=A6))

This is unrelated.  You should be able to remove these warnings by
installing the glibc-locales package and setting the GUIX_LOCPATH
environment variable to =E2=80=9C$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale=E2=80=9D.
