         (en "The GNU C Library (glibc) has been upgraded to version 2.29.  To
run previously-installed programs linked against glibc 2.28, you need to
install locale data for version 2.28 in addition to locale data for 2.29:

@example
guix install glibc-locales glibc-locales-2.28
@end example

On Guix System, you can adjust the @code{locale-libcs} field of your
@code{operating-system} form.  Run @code{info \"(guix) Locales\"}, for more
info.")))
