This, unfortunately, introduces a conflict with the UTF-8 patch, please
help resolving this. Thanks for pointing out that the patch creates an
inconsistency between chapters. But I am not sure that it is indeed the
best to make a link from Chapter 6 to Chapter 5. Maybe, since locale
installation instructions in Chapter 5 are completely optional, it is
more logical to kill all the instructions there, and add a link to
Chapter 6?
After the UTF-8 patch, the text in Chapter 6 becomes:
The locales that can make the system respond in a different language
were not installed by the above command. Install locales listed in the
glibc-2.3.6/localedata/SUPPORTED file with:
make localedata/install-locales
Use the localedef command to create and install additional locales in
the case if you need them (but that's unlikely).
To save time, an alternative to running the previous command is to
install only those locales that are wanted and needed, by using the
localedef command. Information on this command is located in the INSTALL
file in the Glibc source. There are a number of locales that are
essential in order for the tests of future packages to pass, in
particular, the libstdc++ tests from GCC. The following instructions,
instead of the install-locales target used above, will install the
minimum set of locales necessary for the tests to run successfully:
mkdir -pv /usr/lib/locale
localedef -i de_DE -f ISO-8859-1 de_DE
