[gentoo-user] Lost most locales after glibc upgrade

[gentoo-user] Lost most locales after glibc upgrade

[Alexander Kirillov]

I've lost most of them locales after upgrade to glibc-2.3.6-r4.
I don't have userlocales flag set either.
And probably should consider selling sweatshirts to oil-exporting 
countries instead of software engineering as I don't seem to be capable 
of running STABLE system anymore.

You'll need to create a /etc/locale.gen file. After that, read

	man 5 locale.gen
	man 8 locale-gen

and run /usr/sbin/locale-gen

As there *is* no such flag, there's really no need to set it.

Yep. Thanks. Easy enough.
I've seen something of the sort in glibc-2.3.6-r4.log
The devs should probably mention in the notes
it doesn't take rebuilding the whole glibc
to fix the problem.

The flag is still there in the handbook.

there IS a userlocales flag available for the previous version, seems not
working though, I set the USE flag, but locale -a still list nearly
everything. the latest r4 version ignore this flag somehow.

So, there IS no such flag available for the current version, ie.
the version, the OP is about.

Worked very well, when there used to be such a flag. At least on
my systems it worked very well.

Did you create a /etc/locales.build file?

> the latest r4 version ignore this flag somehow.

Yes, as I said: There IS no such flag as "userlocales". But you're right,
this flag is ignored - just like other non-existant flags.

Anyway, the solution is to create a /etc/locale.gen file and run locale-gen.

thank you!  actually I  was just wondering about the missing flag with the
new version before reading this post.

yep, I have solved that problem, cause my locales.build is there though,
syntax is not correct. I have replaced it with the locale.gen. now it works!

I did upgrade the glibc today. How did you recognize the missing locale?

I don't have userlocales flag set either.
And probably should consider selling sweatshirts to oil-exporting 
countries instead of software engineering as I don't seem to be capable 
of running STABLE system anymore.
