Okay, it looks like you don't have glibc-locales installed for the root user. You should install glibc-locales as root, and then restart the guix-daemon with `systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart guix-daemon`. If you definitely did have glibc-locales installed for root and it did not show up in the profile, that's a bug. Please double-check. > root@hat:~# ls -l ~mdj/.guix-profile > lrwxrwxrwx 1 mdj mdj 44 mar 17 21:24 /home/mdj/.guix-profile -> > /var/guix/profiles/per-user/mdj/guix-profile > root@hat:~# ls -lL ~mdj/.guix-profile > total 20 > dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 jan 1 1970 etc > dr-xr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 jan 1 1970 include > dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 jan 1 1970 lib > -r--r--r-- 2 root root 465 jan 1 1970 manifest > dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 jan 1 1970 share > root@hat:~# ls -l ~mdj/.guix-profile/lib > lrwxrwxrwx 3 root root 66 jan 1 1970 /home/mdj/.guix-profile/lib -> > /gnu/store/03nvilh2x4z07dxv7h13gh986vvgpnsf-glibc-locales-2.29/lib This looks fine.
