Description Peter Ruskin 2003-01-04 09:57:35 UTC
$ locale -a
C
POSIX

...but
$ locale
LANG=en_GB
LC_CTYPE=C
LC_NUMERIC=en_GB
LC_TIME=en_GB
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY=en_GB
LC_MESSAGES=en_GB
LC_PAPER="en_GB"
LC_NAME="en_GB"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB"
LC_ALL=

...so it looks to me that the -a option isn't working correctly.

BTW, the only way for me to get the above settings is to have this file:
# /etc/env.d/02i18n
SYSFONTACM=iso15
LC_CTYPE=C
LANGUAGE=en_GB:en
LC_MONETARY=en_GB

Comment 1 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-05 10:10:24 UTC
You need to run something like:

  # localedef -d de_DE -f ISO-15 de_DE

With the locale -a, it did list all of them (besides C and POSIX), right ?

To get rid of the oldes glibc, do:

  emerge clean glibc

A wrong:
  # locale -a
  C
  POSIX

# localedef -d en_GB -f ISO-15 en_GB
localedef: invalid option -- d

...and
  emerge clean glibc
gets rid of the newer one (~x86)

Comment 6 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-07 12:15:31 UTC
Bleh, ok, im on a CVS glibc here :/  Can you guys please do the following:

edit glibc-2.3.1-r2 (or -r3 if you have ~x86 in ACCEPT_KEYWORDS), and change:

---------------------
export LC_ALL="C"
---------------------

in src_install() to:

------------------------------------
unset LANGUAGE LANG LC_ALL
------------------------------------

Also please add above line to first line of src_compile().

If you need me to attatch a sample ebuild, please let me know.  Then
just remerge glibc, and see if its fixed.  I had some issues with
timezones, etc in 2.3, and have it on local ebuild, but have not
yet had the time to proberly look it over and commit ...
Comment 7 Peter Ruskin 2003-01-07 13:44:56 UTC
Did those changes to the -r3 ebuild and remerged: still the same.

glibc 2.3 or glibc CVS?
See my 2002-12-13 change.

        Jakub


Will dig up the patch and apply,
Stefan
Comment 9 Stefan Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-11 13:12:01 UTC
Created attachment 7203 [details, diff]
glibc-2.3.1-locale.patch

This is the promised patch diffed from the glibc CVS changeset which fixes this
bug.
I have tested this limited scope patch, locale -a now works as required.

Shall I apply it? If so, shall I bump glibc?

Stefan
Comment 10 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-14 18:45:33 UTC
Added patch to -r2.  Please test and let us know.

Thanks Stefan!

Comment 11 Peter Ruskin 2003-01-16 10:45:12 UTC
Re: Comment #9
Yes, -2 works now.  Can you apply the patch to -3 as well?
Comment 12 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-17 05:18:10 UTC
Its done (apply to -r3).  Closing this ...
