In #584837, it was requested that the symlinks from

I'm unsure if that was the case at that point (it's been 10 years), but
current implementations of some of the commands in coreutils do need and
expect LC_TIME to operate correctly:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/ca/LC_TIME/coreutils.mo", O_RDONLY) = 3
In particular, at least ls and date will try to use it to represent date
formats correctly on verbose outputs. This affects at least Catalan,
which shows time incorrectly unless you force a date format string by
hand.
Can you give examples of expected and current output?
