That's right. > Old behavior is emulated with 'localedef --no-archive'; this flag > should be set in /usr/sbin/locale-gen until all programs (like > /usr/bin/locale) are fixed to search data into /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive > when this file does exist. localedef --no-archive should not be used in locale-gen. "locale -a" searches locale-archive and /usr/lib/locale/. Moreover, all programs except for libc should not use this locale-archive file. I think this bug can be closed, is it OK?
