That would require to have a derivation running an equivalent of the
"make dist" command, in the same spirit as the "tarball-jobs" procedure
of the (gnu ci) module I guess.

Thanks,

Apparently I also need to ...

$ export LANGUAGE=en

And then I hit the bug that 7e91d5d58c50fa64f41218c9c8157a4e8dbb3107
fixed. :)

So ... setting LANG LANGUAGE and LC_ALL seems to be a viable workaround,
but a bit ugly to be so locale-dependent.

"make dist" fails ... en@boldquote: warning: PO file headder missing or invalid

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Trying to run "make dist" from Debian running guix... but it fails.
nckx confirmed to have similar issues.

$ guix shell --container --pure --development guix guix git imagemagick perl 
less glibc glibc-locales
...
$ export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 # ensure UTF-8 locale available in 
guix
$ git clean -dfx # remove any potential cruft
...
$ ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make -j1 dist
...
rm -f e...@boldquot.gmo &&
/gnu/store/z2y9851y1w2r8j8ipkvk0nhhczw8qgci-profile/bin/msgfmt -c
--statistics --verbose -o e...@boldquot.gmo e...@boldquot.po
/gnu/store/z2y9851y1w2r8j8ipkvk0nhhczw8qgci-profile/bin/msgfmt:
e...@boldquot.po: warning: PO file header missing or invalid

warning:

not

work
/gnu/store/z2y9851y1w2r8j8ipkvk0nhhczw8qgci-profile/bin/msgfmt: found 1
fatal error


I've also in the past implored to set up a ci job for "make dist" to
make it at least easier to figure out which commits trigger these
issues... how can I help move that forward? :)
