[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

I installed guix on my Fedora 23 machine according to
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Binary-Installation.html#Binary-Installation.
After that, I don't recall installing anything but guile. When I attempt to
run the following command, I see a backtrace.

# guix package -u "*"

Right, so if you want to upgrade all the packages, you can run either:

  guix package -u

or:

  guix package -u '.*'

Anyway, the backtrace was clearly sub-optimal.  Commit fd688c8 fixes
that.  Now you’d get this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ LC_ALL=cs_CZ.utf8 ./pre-inst-env guix package -u '*'
guix package: error: '*' is not a valid regular expression: Nepřípustný předchozí regulární výraz
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thank you!

Ludo’.
