Hi Guix,While setting up Guix on a foreign distribution (CentOS 7), I elected to use the full glibc-locales while following section 2.6.1 of the manual for application setup. I installed the glibc-locales package in both my user's profile and root's so that the locales would be available to guix-daemon.
However, I was surprised that even though I had the full set of locales available guix-daemon couldn't find the locale it was looking for. This is because the default systemd unit for guix-daemon configures it to use the en_US.utf8 locale which is provided by glibc-utf8-locales (en_US.UTF-8 is in glibc-locales).
I think it would be good to clarify in the manual which locale package is needed when using the default daemon configuration on systemd foreign distros.
I also talked about my experience on help-guix: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2019-06/msg00024.html Best, Jack
