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. Explanations heartily welcome :-/
