glibc will no longer contain pre-generated locales. This means users who
use something else than the C locale should take some steps when
upgrading to the new glibc-2.3.6-2 package.
glibc will try to autodetect the locales needed on your system and
enables them in /etc/locale.gen. After this, it will
run /usr/sbin/locale-gen.
The glibc package will look in the $LANG variable and in /etc/rc.conf
for the LOCALE setting. If you use any other locales than these,
edit /etc/locale.gen and run /usr/sbin/locale-gen. This should generate
all the locales you need.
The package is uploaded to testing first, if no bugs are reported, it
will go into current quite soon.

For users who have been running 2.3.6-1 from testing, this autodetection
won't work, as the /etc/locale.gen included in the package is under
pacman's backup control and doesn't contain the required lines to
support autodetection.
