Description Maxim Kammerer 2014-07-18 10:18:06 UTC
locale-gen reports an error for bo_CN and bo_IN, failing to generate the locales:

 *  ( 39/272) Generating bo_CN.UTF-8 ...LC_NAME: field `name_fmt' must not be empty
 [ !! ]
 *  ( 40/272) Generating bo_IN.UTF-8 ...LC_NAME: field `name_fmt' must not be empty
 [ !! ]

It continues afterwards, but ultimately exits with error code 2, causing issues for usage in scripts.

The culprit is described here (with a patch):

As far as I can see, the issue has not been fixed so far in glibc git.
