The error points to not liking an empty LC_ALL locale:
========================================
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
File "/usr/lib/python3.12/locale.py", line 615, in setlocale
return _setlocale(category, locale)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
* ERROR: sys-apps/init-system-helpers-1.66::gentoo failed (install phase):
==================
This explains why your workaround allowed it to install.
The line 615 in locale.py the error refers to states:
615 return _setlocale(category, locale)
616
617 def resetlocale(category=LC_ALL):
618
619 """ Sets the locale for category to the default setting.
620
621 The default setting is determined by calling
622 getdefaultlocale(). category defaults to LC_ALL.
623
624 """
>From a quick look I don't know, or understand, why it defaults to LC_ALL, when
further up it is looking for language and encoding, as provided by LC_CTYPE,
which is set correctly in your system. Is this the first time you install
this package?
Unless someone can offer an explanation for this, you may want to file a bug
report.
