Dear Ricardo,

Thank you for the explanations.

Maybe I am doing wrong.

$ ldd /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix-daemon
[...]
libc.so.6 => /gnu/store/h90vnqw0nwd0hhm1l5dgxsdrigddfmq4-glibc-2.28/lib/libc.so.6


So the version is 2.28, right?
Then my profile contains the version 2.28 of the locale, I guess.

$ echo $GUIX_LOCPATH
/home/simon/.guix-profile/lib/locale
$ ls `echo $GUIX_LOCPATH`
2.28

Is not correct?

I also tried to restart the daemon, in case. :-)
Because the machine should be turned on with the daemon linked to one
glibc. Then `guix pull' and `guix package -i glibc-locales' does not
necessary install the correct version, I guess.
I mean, does `guix pull' restart the daemon?


All the best,
simon
