Hi,
Vagrant Cascadian <vagrant@reproducible-builds.org> skribis:

Since it’s the only test that makes this assumption, you can choose
whichever option sounds best to you. In Guix proper, I’d rather assume
we’re running in a UTF-8 locale. If that’s not a good option for you,
you could patch this one non-ASCII character.
HTH!
