Hello,
Further on this :

sudo svn up /etc/nixos/nixos
svn: warning: cannot set LC_CTYPE locale
svn: warning: environment variable LANG is en_US.UTF-8
svn: warning: please check that your locale name is correct
Skipped '/etc/nixos/nixos'

and that's with defaultLocale = "en_GB.UTF-8"; hashed out.

Any suggestions on where to go from here? It appears totally broken.

Thanks,
Tony
