Hi,
I keep getting this error when trying to build Guix. I got it just
today when invoking the following command from a clean checkout:
guix environment --pure guix -- ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var
&& make
My current guix version is 18a69803e2eea4f7555d6eafb6497a645c2d094f:
$ guix describe
guile: warning: failed to install locale
Generation 5 Nov 11 2019 20:03:30 (current)
guix 18a6980
repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
branch: master
commit: 18a69803e2eea4f7555d6eafb6497a645c2d094f
GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH="/home/marusich/custom-guix-packages"
The commit I had checked out was:
18a69803e2eea4f7555d6eafb6497a645c2d094f.
Can anyone reproduce this issue? It happens consistently for me using
this checkout. This is the tip of the master branch, by the way. I ran
"guix pull" without any problem earlier today. It happens even if I
remove the "--pure" option:
guix environment guix -- ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make
It still happens even if I add zlib ad-hoc to the environment:
$ guix environment guix --ad-hoc zlib -- ./bootstrap && ./configure
--localstatedir=/var && make
It's pretty strange.

You're absolutely right. I can't believe I made such a silly mistake!
Thank you for lending me a second pair of eyes. :-)
I'm closing this bug report.
