Re: Installing Guix package manager on Trisquel, 8

Hello Andre!

I happen to have run into this particular problem multiple times, each
time I fixed it thinking, that I finally found "the way" to fix it,
until recently … When I found the "real final" solution to the problem ; )

You may want to check this out:

https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/guix-errors/raw/master/locales.org

(It is an org-mode file, but I linked to the raw file, because it is not
rendered in a way, that is suitable for good readability. The rendered
version is here:
https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/guix-errors/src/master/locales.org)

So now I am thinking, I really found that solution … lets see for how long.

Best regards,
Zelphir
