+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #29955 +++ I happen to have the same problem. So it seems to me that the problem is not fixed. I run emerge with following options: USE="nostrip kdeeanblefinal" sudo -vDNF world To set LINGUAS="de" makes no difference.

Didn't check right now, but this is hardly a blocker.
To me this seems like sudo abuse, because sudo wont export enviroment if you set anything on command line it gets ignored. Reopen if it still happens to you when you set variable normaly in make.conf and it still missbehaves. Works for me...
