When I update my system use "emerge --deep --update world", it fails at dev-db/sqlite-3.4.2. Here is the error code: * Running elibtoolize in: sqlite-3.4.2 sort: sort.c：1134：inittables_mb: assert“mblength != (size_t)-1 && mblength != (size_t)-2”failed sort: sort.c：1134：inittables_mb: assert“mblength != (size_t)-1 && mblength != (size_t)-2”failed sort: sort.c：1134：inittables_mb: assert“mblength != (size_t)-1 && mblength != (size_t)-2”failed sort: sort.c：1134：inittables_mb: assert“mblength != (size_t)-1 && mblength != (size_t)-2”failed sort: sort.c：1134：inittables_mb: assert“mblength != (size_t)-1 && mblength != (size_t)-2”failed sort: sort.c：1134：inittables_mb: assert“mblength != (size_t)-1 && mblength != (size_t)-2”failed sort: sort.c：1134：inittables_mb: assert“mblength != (size_t)-1 && mblength != (size_t)-2”failed * Cannot apply any patches, please file a bug about this * * ERROR: dev-db/sqlite-3.4.2 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 1687: Called dyn_unpack * ebuild.sh, line 803: Called qa_call 'src_unpack' * ebuild.sh, line 44: Called src_unpack * sqlite-3.4.2.ebuild, line 46: Called elibtoolize * libtool.eclass, line 343: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die * The die message: * (no error message) * Reproducible: Always

Your sys-apps/coreutils is pretty screwed. Which version is this? Does it work w/ LANG=C ? Also post emerge --info output.

Again, does it work with LANG=C ?

Thanks.

any word when and how this can be fixed? `sort` isn't working at all and i'm afraid sooner or later some system tool will need it (and doesn't know LANG=C would work :P) $ sort sort: sort.c:1134: inittables_mb: Assertion `mblength != (size_t)-1 && mblength != (size_t)-2' failed.

ETA: whenever someone fixes it most likely it'll rot until fedora fixes it
(In reply to comment #9) > ETA: whenever someone fixes it > > most likely it'll rot until fedora fixes it > upgrade to 6.10, it doesn't have this problem
that's because coreutils-6.10 doesnt have any of the i18n patches ... nor have they been integrated upstream
See if the following locale settings help: LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 # (or whatever) LC_COLLATE=C unset LC_ALL
coreutils-6.10-r2 in the tree with updated i18n patch. please re-open if this doesnt address your issue.
