Note that people have been encountering issues like this for almost a decade, as far as I can tell: First mention of unowned / unrecognised languages I could find / remember is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1103545 The "mo" locale also came up in my first package review (that's a trip down memory lane!): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1398433 And it seems that just nobody cares (literally for almost ten years now) whether those directories are unowned, or whether rpmlint recognises those languages, etc. ... There's also *lots* of packages that ship translations for "mo". It seems that launchpad.net's translation functionality had this in the default set of languages or something, as almost every project originating in the launchpad.net ecosystem (most ubuntu stuff and most elementary OS stuff) has translations for "mo". I'm pretty sure I won't add ownership of /usr/share/locale/mo to literally dozens of packages just so this minor issue is "fixed". I think the filesystem package should create and own it.
