Hello, If you know which test depends on which locale, the best way is to check the locale is installed or not.
For example, test suite of diffutils-3.3, findutils-4.4.2 and grep-2.20 says: "Skipping test: no traditional french locale is installed" "Skipping test: no french Unicode locale is installed" . I do not know how they do it, but it can be a help. As far as I tried, % pkginfo | grep -i localization can be used on Solaris. Another idea is leave the test as it is, but print a message like "This test depends on French locale. You can ignore the error if you do not installed it." # I usually install all the European localizations adding to Japanese, # but tried to shrink OS partition and found this. # (Hablo espan~ol, tambien, und Ich sprach ein bisschen Deutsch.)
