Thanks for the report! These are good questions... > I reverted the ExecStart=... line to ExecStart=/usr/bin/guix-daemon. > I removed the GUIX_LOCPATH=... assignment.

So do you now have... ExecStart=/usr/bin/guix-daemon --build-users-group=_guixbuild Environment=LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 Does this mean the build environment that guix-daemon creates are running in the C.UTF-8 locale, or does guix-daemon normalize the locale that builds are performed in to use a "default" locale from guix; C.UTF-8 isn't yet present in guix's glibc, could this cause issues? I'll admit I'm a little confused at the multiplicity of potentially relevent locales; in which environments are which locales used... etc. :) live well, vagrant
