I've put together a system root based on a minimalist subset of the NetBSD 9.2/AMD64 release. It's working fine except for one small problem with locales.
These are the complete contents of /usr/share/locale in that system root: usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_MONETARY usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_NUMERIC usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_TIME usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_CTYPE This is the result of the attempt to set to the en_US.UTF-8 locale: # env LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ./locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE="C" LC_COLLATE="C" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="" The LC_COLLATE being left at the C locale is normal, I believe. However, the loading of LC_CTYPE is failing silently. I've tried going through the source. I'm sure it's some file that needs copying into the system root, but I can't figure out which file that is. It doesn't appear to be documented. The LC_CTYPE appears to have a different mechanism (runes) for loading than the other categories. Is there anyone really familiar with the NetBSD locale system that knows why LC_CTYPE is being ignored inside the chroot? I've spent a lot of time on this, so it's probably time for me to ask for some help here. Thanks, John
