The `glibc-all-langpacks` continues to be the correct way to get all locales, but now things are a bit smoother. (1) Virtual provides to make upgrade smoother. All glibc languages packs now provide `glibc-langpack`, that includes the glibc-all-langpacks (all language support). The core runtime depends on `glibc-langpack` and so when upgrading on systems without dnf, yum, or langpack plugin support, plain rpm dependency solving via suggests will install `glibc-all-langpack` for you and provide all the existing locales you previously had. This makes for a complete rpm solution with no other support required. This means that upgrading from a non-langpack supporting F23 to any future langpack supporting distribution will upgrade you to the newest set of supported locales. (2) Optimized "all languages" performance. In addition the `glibc-all-langpack` is optimized to again use the locale cache (locale-archive) to accelerate lookups for those users who prefer to have all languages installed. Previously we had `glibc-all-langpack` as a meta-package of all the other language packs, but that is no longer the case. (3) Provide glibc-minimal-langpack We add a minimal language pack that provides no languages. This allows you to install glibc-minimal-langpack and then uninstall glibc-all-langpacks and operate entirely under C, POSIX, and C.UTF-8 locales. This should resolve all problems that users have been seeing with the upgrade. Thank you for your patience. We really messed up here. In the future we'll make sure we cover all the upgrade cases more carefully. (4) Remove all languages to minimize installed size You can still minimize your installed size, but it's slighltly harder now. First you must install a valid language pack, and then remove `glibc-all-langpacks` to reduce the size of installed languages.
