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.
You can generate a "fake" C.UTF-8 locale with localedef:
# localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 C.UTF-8
and remove it when no longer needed:
# localedef --delete-from-archive C.utf8
Don't blame me for ugly side effects...
