Hello,

I use guix home for almost everything, but I have installed glibc-locales in my "regular" guix (just by running guix package install glibc-locales).
Now, running guix package --upgrade fails with:
guix package: error: package glibc-locales <at> 2.37 does not support x86_64-linux

But from my reading of (gnu packages base), glibc-locales version should be the same as glibc version. This is not the case for me though:

$1 = #<package glibc-locales <at> 2.37 gnu/packages/base.scm:1276 7f4de8bd0420>
scheme@(guix-user)> (specification->package "glibc")
$2 = #<package glibc <at> 2.35 gnu/packages/base.scm:795 7f4de8bb76e0>

In my home profile, I was able to fix it by using (make-glibc-locales glibc) instead of (specification->package "glibc-locales").
