I had the same problem on RH7.1 when I rebuilt Anaconda, the genlocalelist
script doesn't work - this is the answer and fix I got from
redhat-devel-list (which by the way is a better place for questions like
modifying anaconda):
-------------
This is because they added UTF-8 locales to glibc just before the 7.1
release... grab the genlocalelist from a rawhide anaconda, it'll work -
or just patch it up:
diff -ru anaconda/scripts/genlocalelist
anaconda-xfs/scripts/genlocalelist
