Re: locale LC_CTYPE wrong...?

Hi Ed,

 But I am on 15.2 now....?

Is that what you get if you do "lsb-release -a"??

No, I apologize. I upgraded _to_ 15.1 sometime in the past, and _intended_ to upgrade to 15.2 for a while already, but haven't done that yet.

So I'm still on 15.1:

~> lsb-release -a
LSB Version: core-2.0-noarch:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-noarch:core-2.0-x86_64:core-3.2-x86_64:core-4.0-x86_64:desktop-4.0-amd64:desktop-4.0-noarch:graphics-2.0-amd64:graphics-2.0-noarch:graphics-3.2-amd64:graphics-3.2-noarch:graphics-4.0-amd64:graphics-4.0-noarch
Distributor ID: openSUSE
Description:    openSUSE Leap 15.1
Release:        15.1
Codename:       n/a

FWIW, I installed opensuse 15.1 without allowing for the update to happen during the install.
The /etc/locale.conf was contained only LANG=en_US.UTF-8.

I think we can give up on this for now, sorry for the extra work you put in due to my mistakes.

This turns out to be entirely an openSUSE matter, with no connection to Fedora at all.

Reading through the SuSE forum thread mentioned earlier, I found that others confirm what I've checked in the meantime here myself too:

/etc/locale.conf needs to contain *only* LANG= and nothing else.

That's odd - the man page for locale.conf explicitely states that

       The basic file format of locale.conf is a newline-separated list of
       environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments.

That seems to be NOT true with OpenSUSE.

The other thing that let's me somewhat confused - but I'll live with that now - is that my rpm -V didn't complain when /etc/locale.conf was wrong.

Would have been nice to report that there's something different then the default of a fresh install.

Otherwise, I'm good now, with

~> cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Many thanks for your help and time!
