The new monolithic QT packages with qtwebengine is derived from the now deprecated qt package, which has since been removed from guix, which is understandable since the module packages are more ideal. This new monolithic package stills suffers from the same issue as my modular qtwebengine. In that there are many in tree third party dependencies. It's not trivial to simply switch to guix inputs for these. This package is an improvement on my module qtwebengine package. Since it does not suffer from the same locales issues. Mike
