Subject: bug#40826: core-updates: guile: warning: failed to install locale
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2020 18:44:03 +0000

I'm using the GNU system distributed by Guix.


## Steps to reproduce

1. guix pull --branch=core-updates
2. guix --version (or any other guix command)


## Expected result

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
$ guix --version

## Unexpected result

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
$ guix --version
guile: warning: failed to install locale
hint: Consider installing the `glibc-utf8-locales' or `glibc-locales' package and
defining `GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines:

     guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales
     export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"

See the "Application Setup" section in the manual, for more info.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

This warning is confusing because I'm using the GNU system. The "Application Setup" section, as far as I understand, is for Guix on foreign distros.
