I would have expected packages other than libc to provide only
LC_MESSAGES, so I didn’t think such collisions could happen.
This happens with Coreutils because its bootstrap.conf adds
‘EXTRA_LOCALE_CATEGORIES = LC_TIME’ to po/Makevars, and apparently
always has.
However, I suspect this isn’t needed. Can someone comment?
Thanks,
