I don't have this problem when GUIX_LOCPATH is set properly (on GuixSD
it is "/run/current-system/locale").

Hi David, I think it would be good if haunt just displayed a warning
instead of failing like this, so instead of calling 'setlocale' directly
in 'haunt-main', you can catch a potential error as it is done in Guix:
look at 'install-locale' procedure in (guix ui) module.
