I've just tested on another machine. It seems like if I set it to match the first machine with both environments in the /etc/env.d/02locale: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
$ cat /etc/env.d/02locale |
| 42 |
LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 43 |
LC_TIME="POSIX" |
| 44 |
$ sudo env-update && source /etc/profile |
| 45 |
$ source ~/.bashrc |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Then I can reproduce switching LC_TIME without exporting or anything else: |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
$ date +"%l:%M%P" |
| 50 |
4:01pm |
| 51 |
$ LC_TIME="en_GB.utf8" |
| 52 |
$ date +"%l:%M%P" |
| 53 |
4:02 |
| 54 |
$ LC_TIME="POSIX" |
| 55 |
$ date +"%l:%M%P" |
| 56 |
4:02pm |
| 57 |
$ |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Removing either (& rebooting, because I don't really understand this stuff) removes the ability. |

I don't know whether this is supposed to be correct or not; with both environments in /etc/env.d/02locale: |

The variable is lacking quotes in the `locale` output above; I have no idea whether or not this makes any difference. |
