Please explain why do you need this locale?

You mean apart from the fact that that it's supposed to be installed, as evidenced by the upstream build? (1) I'm in an en@ locale. (2) I want to create a minimal grub2 image, with only the needed locale -- not populated with unnecessary bloat of unneeded locales, which is what you get if you do not specify a single locale

It is disabled due to this error during build

There's no such error when building upstream source. It's clearly an artifact of the pkg'ing build. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thanks. Let me check the error.

The error is due to Makefile explicitly setting C.UTF-8 which does not exist in (open)SUSE. It seems more Debianism/Ubuntu. As I have no idea what these special locales do nor why would anyone need them I simply disabled them. I still have not received explanation why exactly this en@quot is needed, what it contains, how it differs from built-in English strings. Fact it, nobody missed these files in the past 3+ years. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Can we replace it with other LC_ALL strings ? like en.UTF-8 ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please help to explain why en@quot is needed?

The primary reason is simply that it's supposed to be there, as it is in upstream. What's "your" legitimate reasoning for removing upstream functinoality? I need one locale, and I need it to be en locale. Not only has opensuse' grub2 not provided en@auote -- it's provied *no* en locale. en@quot is the appropriate one for the grub2 image (https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/po_002fLINGUAS.html). That it's not been an issue 'for three years' is a ridiculous argument against fixing something that's clearly broken. I noticed it specifically when creating a custom, standalone pvgrub2 image for launching a Xen DomU because Opensuse's method is currently broken. If you do not fix this appropriately, then you'll need to address why the other utils that grub2 ships that expect the availability of the locale , e.g., gtub2-mkstanadalone.

Are you building on openSUSE,

Yes, in the current example.

if yes how can you avoid unsupported LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 in po's Makefile ?

Sry, I have no idea what you're asking here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

When building from dist tar po files are not rebuilt, so this issue is not seen. We update translation in our package. I re-enabled en@quot, it builds. SR#342138. Other extra catalogs still fail to build. C.UTF-8 is not present in upstream gettext, it was added with extra catalogs by Vladimir. I'll ask upstream. (In reply to boo35 boo35 from comment #11)

This plays a role in deciding how urgent and important it is to fix it. Anyway, I hope you are satisfied now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
