I did blame myself :) http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2020-May/073696.html so could it be that packages built in chap 5 look for locales in /tools/share? A few experiments (the "toto" command is just to have bash printing an error message): root [ / ]# echo $LC_ALL fr_FR.UTF-8 root [ / ]# exec /bin/bash root [ / ]# toto bash: toto : commande introuvable root [ / ]# exec /tools/bin/bash bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (fr_FR.UTF-8) root [ / ]# echo $LC_ALL fr_FR.UTF-8 root [ / ]# toto bash: toto: command not found So /tools/bin/bash is not seeking locales in /usr/lib/locale/locale- archive (where compiled locales are stored, man localedef for details). I guess it is the same for col from util-linux. One possible fix is: mkdir /tools/lib/locale ln -s /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive /tools/lib/locale with that: root [ / ]# export LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 root [ / ]# exec /tools/bin/bash root [ / ]# toto bash: toto : commande introuvable Another tweak needed because of a separate /tools...
