Hello Leo,

What locale did you pick in the installer?
I think the issue lies in the (gnu installer utils) module, run-command
procedure:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(when locale
(let ((supported? (false-if-exception
(setlocale LC_ALL locale))))
;; If LOCALE is not supported, then set LANGUAGE, which might at
;; least give us translated messages.
(if supported?
(setenv "LC_ALL" locale)
(setenv "LANGUAGE"
(string-take locale
(or (string-index locale #\_)
(string-length locale)))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
If you pick a locale such as en_AG.utf8 which is not supported by the
glibc-utf8-locales package, then supported? is #f, which means that
LC_ALL is never set.
The following patch fixes it for me.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff --git a/gnu/installer/utils.scm b/gnu/installer/utils.scm
index bb97bc5560..d745996a3a 100644

WDYT?
