 Posted: Wed Jul 05, 2006 1:14 pm Post subject: Whoops, I deleted /etc/locales... [Not really, and SOLVED] |
 |
|
The topic says it all... I was going to remove /etc/locales.build, and by accident, I removed /etc/locales instead...
So of course, now locale-gen and so on and so forth ("emerge glibc", for instance) whine about not being able to find the locale files:
| Code: |
# locale-gen
* You should upgrade your /etc/locales.build to /etc/locale.gen
* and then remove /etc/locales.build when you're done.
* Generating 2 locales (this might take a while)
* (1/2) Generating en_US/ISO-8859-1 ...
cannot open locale definition file `en_US/ISO-8859-1': Not a directory [ !! ]
* (2/2) Generating en_US.UTF-8/UTF-8 ...
cannot open locale definition file `da_DK/ISO-8859-1': Not a directory [ !! ]
* Generation complete
|
How would I best go about fixing this screwup?

Are you sure there is/was a /etc/locales?
To me, this rather looks like a glibc problem with your locales files. Could you please post the output of ls /usr/lib/locale and emerge --info?

I have "rm -rf /etc/locales" in my /root/.bash_history, and I don't remember seeing any errors after it ran...
There is nothing in /usr/lib/locale... Here's emerge --info:

Sure, because the f is for batch/force/quiet. You can issue the above command another 10 times without a warning. But remove the f and you will see.

Strange... how about your /usr/share/i18n/locales directory? Are there your needed locales?
I don't know how old your install is, but you might have missed an update or something. Could you please do the following: set the LINGUAS variable with appropriate values (e.g. "dk en") in /etc/make.conf, add userlocales to your useflags and re-emerge glibc.

All the locales I need (en_US and da_DK) are in /usr/share/i18n/locales.
My install is roughly 1 week old at this point (reinstallation because my partitions got hosed when I tried to resize them...), so I'm guessing I haven't really missed any updates...
I'll try the LINGUAS stuff, though... I want a purely english user interface, so I'm guessing I'll only have to put "en" in there?
EDIT: AH! I figured it out. I thought the syntax would be identical between /etc/locales.build and /etc/locale.gen, but in the latter, "en_US/ISO-8859-1" would be "en_US ISO-8859-1" with a space instead of a slash...
Stupid little mistake
