Details:
I've installed updatedb via Homebrew and encountered this problem:
$ sudo updatedb
/usr/bin/sort: string comparison failed: Illegal byte sequence
/usr/bin/sort: Set LC_ALL='C' to work around the problem.
/usr/bin/sort: The strings compared were
`/LIBRARY/FONTS/ō\216Ɩ\207ǻ\206ɻ\221.TTF' and
`/LIBRARY/FONTS/ō\216Ɩ\207ɻ\221Ľ\223.TTF'.
here are some possibly valid environment settings:
$ locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
$ env | egrep '^(LANG=|LC_)' | sort
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
downstream report: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/47791
my temporary workaround is to just `export LC_ALL="C"` at the top of the
updatedb script
