After upgrading from util-linux-2.12r-r7 to util-linux-2.13, util-linux tools like mount, cfdisk and hwclock are no longer getting localized. (When installing 2.13 I noticed the util-linux.mo files getting uninstalled, and that they had been replaced by util-linux-ng.mo files. Renaming the latter to the first doesn't help, though.) emerge --info: Portage 2.1.3.7 (hardened/x86/2.6, gcc-3.4.6-hardenednopie, glibc-2.6-r0, 2.6.20 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.20 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+ Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 31 Aug 2007 09:50:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.9-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.21 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/init.d /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer notitles sandbox sfperms strict test unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox" LANG="nl_NL.utf8" LINGUAS="en en_GB en_US eo es es_ES nl nl_NL" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_COMPRESS="gzip" PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--progress --human-readable --exclude-from=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" USE="3dnow X aac alsa apm arts asf audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bzip2 cdparanoia cdr cracklib crypt dbus dio dri encode exif fam fbcon ffmpeg flac gif glx gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hardened imagemagick imap imlib jabber jpeg jpeg2k kde kdeenablefinal lcms lm_sensors mad mbox mbrola memlimit midi mikmod mime mmap mmx mng modplug mp3 mpeg musepack ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg opengl pdf pic png python qt3 quicktime readline recode sasl scanner sdl shorten sndfile sox speex spell sqlite sse ssl svg test theora threads tidy tiff timidity truetype unicode urandom usb vcd vorbis win32codecs wmf x86 xface xine xml xorg xpm xsl xv xvid zlib" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en en_GB en_US eo es es_ES nl nl_NL" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="via vesa nv fbdev" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS
localedir isnt setup properly by autotools in the released tarball
