After the upgrade, I'm seeing /etc/locale.gen not locale.def. Also, something seems wrong with the Japanese locale. (Although if something is wrong with it, rather than something I'm missing, why didn't it give problems before? Hrrm, probably something I've done.) After entering ja_JP.UTF8 UTF8 I get a series of error messages Generating locales... ja_JP.eucJP.../usr/share/i18n/locales/ja_JP:14876: LC_MESSAGES: unknown character in field `yesexpr' /usr/share/i18n/locales/ja_JP:14878: LC_MESSAGES: unknown character in field `noexpr' /usr/share/i18n/locales/ja_JP:14879: LC_MESSAGES: unknown character in field `yesstr' /usr/share/i18n/locales/ja_JP:14880: LC_MESSAGES: unknown character in field `nostr' /usr/share/i18n/locales/ja_JP:14886: LC_MONETARY: unknown character in field `currency_symbol' /usr/share/i18n/locales/ja_JP:14913: LC_TIME: unknown character in field `abday' /usr/share/i18n/locales/ja_JP:14913: LC_TIME: unknown character in field `abday' /usr/share/i18n/locales/ja_JP:14913: LC_TIME: unknown character in field `abday' /usr/share/i18n/locales/ja_JP:14913: LC_TIME: unknown character in field `abday' and more of the same, ending with LC_MESSAGES: value for field `yesexpr' must not be an empty string LC_MESSAGES: value for field `noexpr' must not be an empty string yesexp and noexpr aren't empty strings by the way. So, I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Thanks for any assistance. As I maintain a moderately popular page on Japanese input in *nix, I'd like to figure this out as quickly as possible. As far as I can tell, my syntax in /etc/locale.gen is correct--I just copied over then en_US.UTF-8 one that was there and changed en_US to ja_JP. I didn't do anything to the locale files. On the other hand, this is me, so there's a good chance I broke something unknowingly, but all I did this time was pacman -Syu, installed glibc and then tried to edit locale-gen and then run the locale-gen command. > > > _______________________________________________ > arch mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch - -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Spike: Oh, sod the spell.
