Andréas, I'm not sure if you and I are having the same issue, but I found your message after searching the web for information about the issue I was facing.
I think this thread, which contains some links, provides a good summary of the information available on the web for my issue: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2019-06/msg00030.html That said, the solution I found was this: > I think the fix for this would be to clarify which package should be > installed in **root's profile** when installing on a systemd foreign distro." (Emphasis mine. The quote is from Jack Hill in https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2019-06/msg00024.html) So, I did `sudo guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales` (I previously did the same without sudo--no change.) ...Before that, I'd done the other things recommended in the aforementioned summary post. Please note that I'm only copying and pasting magical invocations; I don't understand locales nor guix. I hope this message is helpful. Cheers, --sebboh
