Package: locales
Version: 2.36-9+deb12u4
Severity: important
Tags: l10n
X-Debbugs-Cc: maddes+deb...@maddes.net
Dear Maintainer,
referencing a custom locale that resides in /usr/local/share/i18n/loaces/ via
"copy" doesn't work.
`dpkg-reconfigure locales` gives the following error message:
en_GB.UTF-8@INTL...[error] cannot open locale definition file `en_US@INTL': No
such file or directory
Both locales will get attached to the bug, so you can be reproduce.
* What led up to the situation?
Created custom locales in /usr/local/share/i18n/locales/ and wanted
to copy from one those custome locales: en_GB@INTL shall copy LC_TIME from
en_US@INTL.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Looked around and recognized that locale-gen doesn't pass any I18NPATH to
localedef. So only the compiled-in single path /usr/share/i18n/locales/ is
referenced.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Referencing custom locales without I18NPATH does not work (see error message
above).
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Referencing a custom locale should work out of the box.
* Workarounds?
This worked: `I18NPATH=/usr/local/share/i18n dpkg-reconfigure locales`
* Possible solutions?
Option #1: Enhance `locale-gen` to set I18NPATH when calling localedef
TESTED and working, allows to set I18NPATH also from the outside.
/usr/sbin/locale-gen:
...
if [ -z "${I18NPATH:-}" ]; then
if [ -d "${USER_LOCALES}" ]; then
I18NPATH="${USER_LOCALES%/locales}"
fi
fi
echo "Generating locales (this might take a while)..."
while read -r locale charset; do
...
I18NPATH="${I18NPATH}" localedef ...
...
done
Option #2: Enhance `localedef` upstream to allow collon separated list of paths
via LOCSRCDIR macro
There are no changes since glibc 2.36 in function locfile_read() of
locale/programs/locfile.c and no debian patches for this function.
Something like this should work (UNTESTED!):
int
locfile_read (struct localedef_t *result, const struct charmap_t *charmap)
{
...
/* Test in the default directories. */
if (ldfile == NULL)
{
char *locpath = LOCSRCDIR;
const size_t pathlen = strlen (locpath);
char locpathbuf[pathlen + 1];
char path[strlen (filename) + 1 + pathlen];
char *next;
locpath = memcpy (locpathbuf, locpath, pathlen + 1);
while (ldfile == NULL
&& (next = strsep (&locpath, ":")) != NULL)
{
stpcpy (stpcpy (path, next), filename);
ldfile = lr_open (path, locfile_hash);
if (ldfile == NULL)
{
stpcpy (stpcpy (stpcpy (path, next), "/"), filename);
ldfile = lr_open (path, locfile_hash);
}
}
}
...
