The warning comes from ‘guix substitute’, which is started by the
daemon.

Could you (1) make sure your /etc/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service
sets the right locale as done in
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/etc/guix-daemon.service.in>,
and (2) run “guix pull && guix install glibc-locales@2.29” as root and
restart the service?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
