Description:
locale-gen needs sed and gzip for generating locales
If I have not install sed I see the same error:
Generating locales...
/usr/sbin/locale-gen: line 33: sed: command not found
.UTF-8/usr/sbin/locale-gen: line 35: sed: command not found
.../usr/sbin/locale-gen: line 38: sed: command not found

Now I installed core/sed package. And I have other error:
Generating locales...
en_US.UTF-8...character map file `UTF-8' not found: No such file or directory
default character map file `ANSI_X3.4-1968' not found: No such file or directory

Now locale-gen need gzip for unpack /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8.gz


Perhaps needы associate sed and gzip as dependencies for glibc?

Additional info:
* glibc
This task depends upon

This won't happen, as glibc is a dependency for sed and gzip. Doing this will result in a dependency loop. Sed and gzip are considered base packages and should be present on every arch system.

The group 'base' contain all of this packages (sed, glibc, gzip).
I do not need install all packages from group 'base' now. For my test I need only pacman and glibc.

I think if locale-gen required sed and gzip for normal work then these dependencies need to satisfy.
What do you think?

If you do not install the 'base' group, then it is up to you to deal with any issues.
