There is no /etc/locale. I assume you mean /etc/locale.gen. That one |
| 10 |
only contains the locales for glibc. You should not specify env vars |
| 11 |
there. You only list raw locales. Mine for example has these contents: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
en_US ISO-8859-1 |
| 14 |
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
/etc/env.d/02locale is of a different format. It's executed as a |
| 17 |
script, so you set your locale-specific env vars there. You only need |
| 18 |
LANG actually, and possibly LC_COLLATE. The whole contents of mine: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
LANG="en_US.UTF-8" |
| 21 |
LC_COLLATE="C" |
