the only way of doing what you're looking for that I know of would be to have a package like mybase that would be files used by all locales which requires a virtual package such as mybase-locale.

That way you can only have one of the locale packages installed at a time and you can't have the main package installed without a locale package. it's obviously more work to install and easily broken by --nodeps but if someone uses --nodeps they deserve it.
Oh well just my 2 cents.
Good luck,

Hi,I have a scenario where based on the locale, I want to install some locale specific files.for example i have to copy myfile.txt which needs to be copied by default , but myfileko.txt or myfilejp.txt should be copied only if that specific locale is set while installing to my directory say /scratch/mydir/. Is there any flag in %files which would specify the language list .
