On a GuixSD install, the following message began appearing today (I did not
record what time):
guile: warning: failed to install locale
It appears whenever I run `guix` regardless of the command-line arguments I
pass to it.
GUIX_LOCPATH looks like this:
~$ echo $GUIX_LOCPATH 
/run/current-system/locale
I have not today run "guix system reconfigure"
- Could this be related to the core-updates merge?
- Is there a work-around?

This is most probably a transient core-updates effect. Reconfigure should
fix this, and this should be harmless.

Agreed.

Normally ‘guix pull --news’ should give you hints on how to address
this, but otherwise see:

  https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Application-Setup.html#Locales

for a “foreign distro”, or:

  https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Locales.html#Locale-Data-Compatibility-Considerations

on Guix System.

Let us know if it works for you!
