Subject: bug#25136: locale confusion
Date: Thu, 08 Dec 2016 13:48:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87y3zq7cqx.fsf@pc102091.liv.ac.uk> (raw)
I followed the instructions for getting locales working in
"(guix)Application Setup" to no effect initially. I'm running over
RHEL6, if that's relevant, and I have:
$ locale
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
$ export -p | grep GUIX
declare -x GUIX_LOCPATH="/home/dlove/.guix-profile/lib/locale"
$ find $GUIX_LOCPATH -name en_GB.UTF-8
/home/dlove/.guix-profile/lib/locale/2.24/en_GB.UTF-8
but saw this (note the warning):
$ guix --version
warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument

strace showed it looking in "locale/2.23", not "locale/2.24", despite
the environment.
"guix" there was from the /usr/local/bin link suggested by the
installation instructions. After a "guix package -i guix" (to the same
version of guix, but now in .guix-profile), I don't get the warning but
I wonder why that should have made a difference and why the environment
seems to be ignored.
