I don't think you do, if that's what you thought it was ;-) > (packages (append (map specification->package > '("glibc-useful-swedish-utf8-locales" You have a (probably left-over) specification->package call but no "glibc-useful-swedish-utf8-locales" package in Guix for it to find. It does not search the environment. Remove the spec and refer to your custom variable directly, e.g.: (packages (append (list glibc-useful-swedish-utf8-locales ...) ...))
