I modified the script to run the following commands as root:
```
guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales
systemctl restart guix-daemon
```

The script was already doing this.

When I run guix, it still produces the same locale messages:
```
$ guix package -I
guile: warning: failed to install locale
hint: Consider installing the `glibc-utf8-locales' or `glibc-locales' package
and defining `GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines:
guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales
export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"
See the "Application Setup" section in the manual, for more info.
glibc-utf8-locales 2.29 out

The --fallback option works. Thank you for the suggestion.
