Um, on my system, i have |
| 14 |
/usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8.gz |
| 15 |
/usr/share/i18n/charmaps/IS8859-1.gz |
| 16 |
notice charmaps vs charsets |
| 17 |
the other folders all have en_US files and folders, no utf8 extensions. And my |
| 18 |
locale stuff seems to work fine. Do you actually have those files on your |
| 19 |
computer or did you just type them from memory and get them wrong? |
| 20 |
I do locale -a and get: |
| 21 |
C |
| 22 |
POSIX |
| 23 |
en_US |
| 24 |
en_US.iso88591 |
| 25 |
en_US.utf8 |
| 26 |
also, I do locale-gen and it succeeds and I don't get any of the files you |
| 27 |
mentioned. |

Heres my suggestion to the original poster. I would heed the warning in the |
| 30 |
gentoo guide not to set LC_ALL. I also have a lot of other files under those |
| 31 |
directories and I would just leave them alone, but if you want to delete them, |
| 32 |
just move them so you can move them back later if it doesn't help. I think one |
| 33 |
of your problems might be that you need to set all your locale variables in |
| 34 |
02locale. Then do "eselect env update" and relogin. Also you should have 644 |
| 35 |
permissions on these files. |
