Package: guix
Version: 1.2.0-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Previously, I used a Guix compiled by Guix as the guix daemon.
I would like to switch back to Debian's guix and remove the root
user's Guix profile (because I didn't use it for anything except
for updating the Guix daemon), but I encountered some trouble:
In /etc/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service, there's the line:
Environment='GUIX_LOCPATH=/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/lib/locale'
LC_ALL=en_US.utf8
However, I'm using Debian's guix so shouldn't it look for glibc's
locales instead? (Also, I'm not installing anything as root, so I'd
like to remove /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root.)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I reverted the ExecStart=... line to ExecStart=/usr/bin/guix-daemon.
I removed the GUIX_LOCPATH=... assignment. However, that resulted
in 'guix substitute' not finding the locale:
$ guix build --source snap
substitute: hint: Consider installing the `glibc-utf8-locales' or
`glibc-locales' package and
substitute: defining `GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines:
substitute:
substitute: guix install glibc-utf8-locales
substitute: export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"
substitute:
substitute: See the "Application Setup" section in the manual, for more info.
substitute:
substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://ci.guix.gnu.org'... 100.0%
113,0 MB will be downloaded: [etc etc].
To resolve the issue, I replaced LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 by LC_ALL=C.UTF-8
(LC_ALL=C.utf8 doesn't work for whatever reason) and did a
"systemctl daemon-reload" + "systemctl restart guix-daemon", after which
the locale warnings didn't appear again.
