C + POSIX locale question

2019-02-07 Thread Michael Stone
Per the standard, the C locale is supposed to be a synonym for the POSIX locale. Can someone give a quick explanation for why in debian the C locale definition is 162k and the POSIX locale is 8k? Shouldn't they be identical?

Turns out systemd independently does this, although not in every case. If you have unset locale, it changes it to C.UTF-8 for X (gdm3) but not for console logins. It'd be good to have this consistent both for X vs console, and systemd vs other inits/rc systems. Meow! -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁
