bug#39325: Problem with locales

[Damien Cassou]

Hi,

I installed Guix using guix-install.sh on Fedora. Whatever I try, I
always get warnings about locales:

$ guix package --install glibc-locales
The following package will be upgraded:
   glibc-locales	2.29 → 2.29	/gnu/store/03nvilh2x4z07dxv7h13gh986vvgpnsf-glibc-locales-2.29

substitute: /gnu/store/q19l04vd2za80mk1845pz7r8cz29qk43-bash-minimal-4.4.23/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.utf8)
substitute: /gnu/store/q19l04vd2za80mk1845pz7r8cz29qk43-bash-minimal-4.4.23/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.utf8)
nothing to be done

$ guix describe

The warning comes from ‘guix substitute’, which is started by the
daemon.

Could you (1) make sure your /etc/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service
sets the right locale as done in
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/etc/guix-daemon.service.in>,
and (2) run “guix pull && guix install glibc-locales@2.29” as root and
restart the service?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
