Comment 1 Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2015-01-18 19:04:33 UTC
Patrick, does locale -a work?
Comment 2 Patrick Lauer gentoo-dev 2015-01-21 04:46:30 UTC
Fresh Stage3 gives:

# locale -a
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory
C
POSIX

    targets: Set LANG=C.UTF8
    
    Stable glibc now always provides a UTF-8 capable locale, which many
    packages require. Set this as the default LANG.
    
    Running locale-gen in stage1 should also solve bug #536938.

Comment 4 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2020-05-20 18:05:23 UTC
This is included in catalyst-3.0.10. Not sure if there's anything dev-portage@ wants to do, but catalyst@'s part is done, so dropping from Cc.
Comment 5 Oleg 2021-12-24 06:26:25 UTC
I catch this issue recently after upgraded to glibc-2.33.

After locale-gen it fixed until next reboot.
