On my 11.4 machine as well on 12.1 (according to this user's report http://tinyurl.com/5tjuorp ) there are multiple excess locales. For example, for Russian-language installation there are: anixx@anixx-desktop:~> du -hs /usr/lib/locale/en_US* 288K /usr/lib/locale/en_US 292K /usr/lib/locale/en_US.iso885915 1,5M /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8 anixx@anixx-desktop:~> du -hs /usr/lib/locale/ru_RU* 288K /usr/lib/locale/ru_RU 288K /usr/lib/locale/ru_RU.koi8r 1,5M /usr/lib/locale/ru_RU.utf8 Is there a need for non-UTF8 locales? That is why the following ones are installed by default: 288K /usr/lib/locale/en_US 292K /usr/lib/locale/en_US.iso885915 288K /usr/lib/locale/ru_RU 288K /usr/lib/locale/ru_RU.koi8r -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
