Yes, if you want to continue working in this shell. But if I start my Gentoo update script from my unprivileged userid, it only depends on my own environment and on what "/etc/sudoers" allows through. But your remark made me curious about what was really changed in the environment. So I started a privileged shell using my own environment and then executed # env | sort > /tmp/env1 # . /etc/profile # env | sort > /tmp/env2 # diff -du /tmp/env* The trivial environment variable changes were for "LESS", "LS_COLORS" (which was added), "MANPATH", "PATH", and "PS1". However, the non-triv- ial environment variable change was: -LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 +LANG=en_GB.utf8 which sort of shocked me, because that effectively again unset the only variable setting that allowed building of package "/texlive-basic-2021": > ... > > So "en_GB.utf8" in "02locale" but "export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8" in my Shell > > script doing the Gentoo updates is the only working combination I've yet > > found. May this be some sort of bug in "glibc"? Utterly puzzled ... Rainer

No, this file still contains LANG="en_GB.utf8" However, if I change that line to LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" then I do get a new locale when running # env-update >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... # eselect locale list Available targets for the LANG variable: [1] C [2] C.utf8 [3] POSIX [4] en_GB.utf8 [5] en_GB.UTF-8 * [ ] (free form) # but afterwards re-building package "texlive-basic" again fails until I undo this change by executing # eselect locale set 4 # env-update >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... # eselect locale list Available targets for the LANG variable: [1] C [2] C.utf8 [3] POSIX [4] en_GB.utf8 * [ ] (free form) # grep -v '^#' /etc/env.d/02locale LANG="en_GB.utf8" # So "en_GB.utf8" in "02locale" but "export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8" in my Shell script doing the Gentoo updates is the only working combination I've yet found.

Apparently yes. At least for Perl or anything else used by Portage. Running my package upgrade script again after setting $ export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 just succeeded.

Erm, is there a difference between "*.utf8" and "*.UTF-8"? Does case matter? The web page https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/UTF-8 provides a mix of both notations, but I get $ grep -v '^#' /etc/locale.gen en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8 $ So do I have to adapt my definition of "LANG"? > Regarding perl complaining, there was a perl update recently (stable) so > running perl-cleaner is recommended and may fix at least your texlive-basic > issue. I installed Perl version 5.32.1 two weeks ago during my last routine up- grade, so this might be a reason as well. And running "perl-cleaner" returned this: $ perl-cleaner --all --pretend * Would try to remove the following perl-core packages from world file *emerge --deselect perl-core/File-Temp * Would try to update installed Perl virtuals *emerge -u1 virtual/perl-Carp virtual/perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib virtual/perl-CPAN-Meta virtual/perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML virtual/perl-Data-Dumper virtual/perl-Digest virtual/perl-Digest-MD5 virtual/perl-Digest-SHA virtual/perl-Encode virtual/perl-Exporter virtual/perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Install virtual/perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Manifest virtual/perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS virtual/perl-File-Path virtual/perl-File-Spec virtual/perl-File-Temp virtual/perl-Getopt-Long virtual/perl-IO virtual/perl-JSON-PP virtual/perl-libnet virtual/perl-MIME-Base64 virtual/perl-Module-Metadata virtual/perl-parent virtual/perl-Parse-CPAN-Meta virtual/perl-Perl-OSType virtual/perl-Pod-Parser virtual/perl-podlators virtual/perl-Scalar-List-Utils virtual/perl-Storable virtual/perl-Sys-Syslog virtual/perl-Test-Harness virtual/perl-Test-Simple virtual/perl-Text-ParseWords virtual/perl-Time-Local virtual/perl-version virtual/perl-XSLoader * Locating packages for an update * Locating ebuilds linked against libperl * No package needs to be reinstalled. $ As far as I can see all these virtual packages are installed and updated to the most recent stable version. But nevertheless I will try that, too. By the way, "man perl-cleaner" starts with DESCRIPTION perl-cleaner -- Find & rebuild packages and Perl header files broken due to a perl upgrade Is this what they call "inspiring confidence"? :-) Is there a reason why "perl-cleaner" should be run manually rather than automatically after emerging any Perl component? Should I put it into my "edepclean" script which I normally run after a successful upgrade? Sincerely, Rainer

I can't speak for your lua* packages, but as long as you have defined your
locale correctly in /etc/locale.gen your system should source what it needs
from there.
Regarding perl complaining, there was a perl update recently (stable) so
running perl-cleaner is recommended and may fix at least your texlive-basic
issue.
