I've made this change too, though it appeared to be fixed just by installing glibc-utf8-profiles. What foreign distro are you using? I wonder if the former works with some systemd versions, but not all. I'll open bugs for each of these issues. Glad that these won't be a problem any more; thanks a lot! To close the loop, those issues are https://issues.guix.info/issue/36074 and https://issues.guix.info/issue/36076 While poking around the bugtracker, I noticed another one which is related to the whole situation: https://issues.guix.info/issue/35671 Best, Jack

I think the fix for this would be to clarify which package should be installed in root's profile when installing on a systemd foreign distro. 2) The quoting in systemd unit is wrong. Changing ``` Environment=GUIX_LOCPATH='/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/lib/locale' LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 ``` to ``` Environment='GUIX_LOCPATH=/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/lib/locale' LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 ``` fixed the problem.
