[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Dear Guix community,

I was trying to install guix package manager on a "foreign distribution",
in particular Ubuntu 20.04 under WSL2 (Windows).

WSL is not a normal linux distribution (the kernel and the init file are
shipped by Microsoft), but despite this I was able to complete the setup
using the script on guix website. The deamon must be started manually, but
this is a minor issue.
The issue comes when I try to execute "guix pull" (both from standard user
and root).  compute-guix-derivation fails complaining for a bug...
Here below the output to terminal

user <at> PP423:~$ guix pull
hint: Consider installing the `glibc-utf8-locales' or `glibc-locales'
package and defining `GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines:

     guix install glibc-utf8-locales
     export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"

See the "Application Setup" section in the manual, for more info.

See https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55066.  Summarised: just run "guix
pull" again.  Also, the error message can probably be improved (albeit
not perfectly) by <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50238>.

Greetings,
Maxime.
