Instead of trying to guess what you want, pacman leaves your configuration file as-is and leaves the new version of the config file in a .pacnew file. It's up to you to merge the new default configuration file with the configuration file you have changed locally. I use vimdiff to merge .pacnew files. Once the files have been merged, you should delete the .pacnew file. Read more here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacnew_and_Pacsave_Files So you should merge /etc/locale.gen with /etc/locale.gen.pacnew, make sure the relevant locales are uncommented, run locale-gen, and then delete your .pacnew file. -- John K Pate http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/s0930006/ The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
