Description Lars T. Mikkelsen 2005-04-30 07:24:11 UTC 
The en_DK.UTF-8 locale is not supported by Xlib in xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1. To support the locale, an alias is needed in /usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.dir.

Comment 4 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-13 15:56:34 UTC 
Thanks again.
Comment 5 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-20 14:00:58 UTC 
This should be fixed in modular (7.0).
Comment 6 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-20 14:01:21 UTC 
Marking fixed.
Comment 7 Jakob Schiotz 2007-02-14 10:21:21 UTC 
The bug is still present or has reappeared in 7.1, where the locale is missing from /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.dir (belonging to x11-libs/libX11-1.0.3).  I cannot reopen this bug, can someone please do it?

Best regards

Jakob

Reopening as requested
Comment 9 Lars T. Mikkelsen 2007-04-18 09:47:09 UTC 
Although I'm the original reporter of this bug, I suggest marking it as INVALID. The en_DK.UTF-8 is in fact not a real locale, as the there is no such thing as "English as spoken in Denmark". If you want a system with a Danish locale (time, currency, etc.), but English interface, I suggest the following configuration:

/etc/env.d/02locale:
LANG="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"

/etc/locale.gen:
da_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

Indeed, closing then :)

Thanks
