The man page for localepurge fails to mention to command line options -help (-h) : show this help. -nocolor (-nc) : no color mode. To find information about the above, one has to (bravely?) just _try_ to execute localepurge -h which displays the full help: localepurge for Gentoo Linux [ 0.4 ] by bass@gentoo.org * Remember that you must edit /etc/locale.nopurge * Usage: localepurge [options] * -help (-h) : show this help. * -debug (-d) : debug mode. * -verbose (-v) : verbose mode. * -nocolor (-nc) : no color mode. * -version : show version.

you are sure? # man localepurge "OPTIONS The configurable options consist of toggling verbose output, reporting a summary of freed space, and deletion of localized manual pages in addition to locale files. All actions are specified in the /etc/locale.nopurge configuration file. For detailed debugging the commandline switch -debug or just a short -d instead are available for usage. For verbose output the commandline switch -verbose or just a short -v can be added. You can use too -help to have help ;) or a short -h. You can use too -version and if you dont like colors you can use -nocolor or the short form -nc enjoy." :)
So, I re-emerged app-admin/localepurge-0.4 just to make sure... #man localepurge OPTIONS The configurable options consist of toggling verbose output, reporting a summary of freed space, and deletion of localized manual pages in addition to locale files. All actions are specified in the /etc/locale.nopurge configuration file. For detailed debugging the commandline switch -debug or just a short -d instead are available for usage. For verbose output the commandline switch -verbose or just a short -v can be added. A Word of CAUTION etc. Did you really do your test on V0.4? I'm on amd64. (Not that it should make any difference.) Biker
BTW, sorry to be such a pain. ;-)
Fixed in 0.5, closing.
