localedef --no-archive, requires additional argument, and then it waits on something. I'm definitely not an locale expert, so I have no idea what it does. There is locale-gen option --no-archive, too, but when I run locale-gen --no-archive, I just get: # locale-gen --no-archive Generating locales... cs_CZ.UTF-8... up-to-date de_DE.UTF-8... up-to-date en_GB.ISO-8859-1... up-to-date en_GB.ISO-8859-15... up-to-date en_GB.UTF-8... up-to-date en_US.UTF-8... up-to-date pl_PL.UTF-8... up-to-date sk_SK.UTF-8... up-to-date Generation complete.

Otherwise it generates all supported locales. So this is the first step.

[GENERAL] Problem with locales on Linux with 9.3.4
Hi, I'm running Pg 9.3.4 on Ubuntu Linux 12.04/Precise. Pg is installed from PGDG repo (http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/). It somehow got database created in locale that it can't now open: $ psql psql: FATAL: database locale is incompatible with operating system DETAIL: The database was initialized with LC_COLLATE en_GB.UTF-8, which is not recognized by setlocale().

locale-gen just regenerates the locale - which I have. It's just that PostgreSQL doesn't see it. When I run locale-gen, it just shows that all locales (listed by locale -a) are up to date. depesz On Fri, Jun 6, 2014 at 10:04 PM, Adrian Klaver adrian.kla...@aklaver.com wrote: On 06/06/2014 09:05 AM, hubert depesz lubaczewski wrote: Hi, I'm running Pg 9.3.4 on Ubuntu Linux 12.04/Precise.
