Hi,

hopefully some can help me.

cat /etc/locale.gen

gives

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
C.UTF-8
de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
de_DE ISO-8859-1

I've even rebuild glibc (2.24)

/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED  contains the lines

Many thanks for a hint,

What's the full contents of your /etc/locale.gen?

There are only comments above these lines.

Thanks,
Helmut

The reason I asked for the full contents of your /etc/locale.gen is
because users have been known to accidentally make typos when editing
the file in question.

Also, what's the output of 'locale -a' and 'localedef --list-archive'?

There is an incorrect entry in the file.  For example this line:

C.UTF-8

The locale name C. is not listed in /usr/share/i18n/locales/ on my system.

However, the remaining entries appear to be correct according to the contents
of /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED.  So I am not sure what's gone wrong.


C.UTF-8 does not work this way. If you delete the C.UTF-8 line it works. You will have a C locale and a POSIX locale even without specifying them in /etc/locale.gen.

Let me know if you find a way to produce a locale named "C.UTF-8" on Gentoo. I would be interested in it, as it seems that newest darktable from git needs this to compile correctly.
