Ludovic Courtès <ludo <at> gnu.org> skribis:

> This is a followup to ed0cd12a82b429bc5058f693a0f75f2ba0ee47c4, which
> adds the C.UTF-8 locale to the glibc package, and
> ee4e79f871bc2f848ce4b4a176bb725ab71e3cd6, which changed the default to
> “C.UTF-8” for ‘guix’ commands.
>
> Fixes a bug whereby starting ‘guix’ in an environment where the LC_*
> variables are unset would start it in the “C” locale:
>
>   echo '(pk (setlocale LC_ALL))' | guix shell -CW coreutils -- guix repl
>
> This would lead to breakage for commands such as ‘guix substitute’ that
> need to run in a UTF-8 locale.
>
> * gnu/packages/aux-files/guile-launcher.c (main): Try “C.UTF-8” before
> “en_US.UTF-8”.  Do that also when the current locale is “C”.
> * guix/ui.scm (install-locale): Likewise.

> Change-Id: I36da4db8f898f1083b33760e1ab46c3a257de811
