Hello.
I realised something weird in FreeBSD 10.-CURRENT/amd64 (CLANG
compiled), build as from today (buildworld).
Working the whole day coding some pyhton scripts and committing the code
to my subversion server (most recent subversion from the ports
collection, the server is a FreeBSD 9.0-RC1/amd64 box, also system
compiled with CLANG, most recent as compiled world of today), suddenly,
oy of the blue, trying again to commit I get this error:
svn: warning: cannot set LC_CTYPE locale
svn: warning: environment variable LC_CTYPE is de_DE.ISO-8859-1
svn: warning: please check that your locale name is correct
Checking csh shell setting with 'locale:
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=C
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_TIME=C
LC_NUMERIC=C
LC_MONETARY=C
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_ALL=
Checking my settings from /etc/csh.cshrc and ./.cshrc or .login reveals
localised settings for some of the locales as I need those:
(set in $HOME/.cshrc)
setenv LC_CTYPEde_DE.ISO-8859-1
setenv LC_TIME de_DE.ISO-8859-1
setenv LC_MONETARY de_DE.ISO-8859-1
What is going on?
I realised this behaviour now several times, first time I thought I did
something and I couldn't remember, but this time, only two terminal
windows were opened and the whole day committing data to the repository
wasn't an issue.
Is there an explanation for this?
It sounds like a problem specific to the client end, meaning your
-CURRENT box. If that's the case: shouldn't this mail have gone to
freebsd-current@ instead of freebsd-stable@ ? What am I missing?
As for your problem: your locale looks incorrect. It's
de_DE.ISO8859-1. Note that yours has an extra hyphen, which probably
explains the error (sort of).
$ ls -ld /usr/share/locale/de_DE*
drwxr-xr-x2 root wheel 512 Sep 28 14:36
/usr/share/locale/de_DE.ISO8859-1/
drwxr-xr-x2 root wheel 512 Sep 28 14:36
/usr/share/locale/de_DE.ISO8859-15/
drwxr-xr-x2 root wheel 512 Sep 28 14:36
/usr/share/locale/de_DE.UTF-8/
As for the fact that it's random: I cannot explain why a sub-shell
might get spawned in some cases but not others.
