After installing glibc-locales it works.
Glibc-ut8-locales is a small subset of glibc-locales. It's partially intended for test environments, where using the full set of locales could be impractical: $ guix size glibc-utf8-locales store item total self /gnu/store/bhj5xdwwd2dg770lmlks7hyny8vzjm9x-glibc-utf8-locales-2.24 6.3 6.3 100.0% total: 6.3 MiB $ guix size glibc-locales store item total self /gnu/store/hyi7svs0ds79wrcg5l0nr36zzjikqj7i-glibc-locales-2.24 474.5 474.5 100.0% total: 474.5 MiB Almost two orders of magnitude difference!
