Exactly same error here on ia64 with fr_FR locale.

Comment 4 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-03-29 03:19:29 UTC
So it's a stack direction issue?
Comment 5 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-05-20 19:15:46 UTC
Does it still happen for you nowadays?

I tried to reproduce test failure on ia64 (guppy) and no tests failed:

$ FEATURES=test USE="bzip2 elibc_glibc hppa kernel_linux pcre16 readline recursion-limit unicode userland_GNU zlib" LANG=fr_FR emerge -v1 =dev-libs/libpcre2-10.22

Yes.

Interesting, the USE flags on my system are quite different:

[ebuild   R   ~] dev-libs/libpcre2-10.22::gentoo  USE="bzip2 readline recursion-limit unicode zlib (-jit) -libedit -pcre16 -pcre32 -static-libs"

Naive question: what's the setting of ACCEPT_KEYWORDS on guppy? I'm running ia64, not ~ia64. Of course, some installed packages are ~ia64, but I'm sticking with ia64 globally.

I'm using all-stable chroot for this test. The only ~ia64 package is =dev-libs/libpcre2-10.22.

$ FEATURES=test USE="-* bzip2 readline recursion-limit unicode zlib" LANG=fr_FR emerge -v1 =dev-libs/libpcre2-10.22

The original test failure looks like 'fr_FR' locale
was treated like ASCII as if the locale would not be present at all.

Do you use locale filter through /etc/locale.gen?

Simplest locale test would be:
$ LANG=fr_FR date
mar. mai 23 21:56:34 UTC 2017

OK, so we're "nearly" compatible, except that I'm not chrooted and that I have additional packages with ~ia64 keyword (basically, everything GNOME-related).

I don't think so. I simply have:

fr_FR UTF-8

emeric@longspeak ~ $ LANG=fr_FR date
mer. mai 24 00:09:20 CEST 2017

And as a cross-test:

emeric@longspeak ~ $ date
mer. mai 24 00:09:34 CEST 2017

Seems fine to me.

Comment 9 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-06-10 18:25:50 UTC
Yeah, looks fine.

Can you post your 'emerge --info =dev-libs/libpcre2-10.22' so i could diff it against guppy's system in hopes to get a clue where difference lies.

Aha! That's the trigger! Default 'fr_FR' locale is 1-byte: ISO-8859-1.
To trigger failure it's enough to have this file:

  $ cat /etc/locale.gen

  #fr_FR ISO-8859-1
  fr_FR UTF-8

Fails as bad on amd64 \o/

Having chatted on #gentoo-dev this list looks like a canonical mapping
of locale without charset to a charset:

    https://github.com/lattera/glibc/blob/master/localedata/SUPPORTED#L206

    fr_FR.UTF-8/UTF-8
    fr_FR/ISO-8859-1
    fr_FR@euro/ISO-8859-15

I think it means glibc users can safely assume that 'fr_FR' is 'ISO-8859-1'-compatible. and you need to use 'fr_FR.UTF-8' to get UTF-8. IN local-gen syntax it would be:


   $ cat /etc/locale.gen
   fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8

and in LANG syntax it's LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8".

Well catched!

Fixed on my system right now.

OK. I was mislead by the comment in /etc/locale.gen:

# Where <locale name> starts with a name as found in /usr/share/i18n/locales/.

as there are only fr_FR and fr_FR@euro, no UTF-8 reference there.

> and in LANG syntax it's LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8".

Actually, it seems it's rather LANG="fr_FR.utf8". This is at least how eselect locale {list|set} configured it in /etc/env.d/02locale.

Now that everything's correctly configured, I can confirm that dev-libs/libpcre2 emerges successfully with tests enabled.

So, in the end, was it really a problem with dev-libs/libpcre2 or simply because Jeroen and my systems were/are misconfigured? Jeroen, how are your locales configured?

Reassigning to jer@ to clarify fr_FR charset on dev box.

Do you see it as a valid configuration?

I would expect a few problems:
- one locale overrides another mchanically in /usr/lib*/locale/
- 'fr_FR UTF-8' generates a 'fr_FR' locale in an unusual encoding (as the test suite shows)

I am not sure what is valid any more. I would expect this to work because it has worked in the past. The comment in /etc/locale.gen does not say the first field should be unique, and it explains for both fields where to look them up. locale-gen finishes with no errors.
Comment 17 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-04-27 07:27:05 UTC
Perhaps local-gen changed ordering (when parallel mode was added) of locale merging and now it exposed problem in this configuration.

toolchain@ will try to make locale-gen more clear about duplicate locales.
Comment 18 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-11-24 22:43:24 UTC
At least after a fix of bug #697908 (glibc-9999 only so far) locale-gen now fails  loudly when tries to overwrite just generated locale.

locale-gen also complains about a duplicate (does it since times of bug #550884, bug #235555).

 * These locales have been duplicated in your config:
fr_FR ISO-8859-15
fr_FR UTF-8
 * Some might be filtered, but you must fix it.

Comment 19 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-11-15 22:40:25 UTC
Let's close it as WONTFIX as it's a fr_FR locale misconfiguration.
