Hi all, I've noticed what looks like me to be a discrepancy between environments and profile.
I'm running Guix as a package manager over Ubuntu in this instance. If I create even an empty environment in Guix, GUIX_LOCPATH is set, but in order to achieve the same ends in a profile I need to explicitly include glibc-utf8-locales as either a propagated input or in a manifest (assuming my default profile is empty). This tripped me up the last 24 hours - I had a manifest which would install and run just fine as an environment but which was producing mysterious runtime errors after installing without error into a profile (due to one of the libraries requiring locale files I eventually worked out). I've always expected enironments and profiles to behave the same as a runtime environment, when provided with the same inputs to create them - is there a reason for this discrepancy that I'm missing? Should I always install locales into my default profile, rather than keep them empty (they are not needed for many of my profile use-cases so it seems a waste to install them by default)? Cheers, Phil. $ guix environment The following derivation will be built: /gnu/store/ga3dgkjwjz9s73khf5vbwx53i8n0ax8w-profile.drv *building profile with 0 packages...* $ echo $GUIX_LOCPATH /gnu/store/rgydar9dfvflqqz2irgh7njj34amaxc6-glibc-utf8-locales-2.31/lib/locale $
