Details

Description: glibc package has an obsolete file called by locale-gen script.


Additional info:
* package version(s) glibc 2.9.15-5
* config and/or log files etc.

The script /usr/bin/locale-gen call at line 39, localedef with "-A /usr/share/locale/locale.alias" argument.

You can see in the /usr/share/locale/locale.alias file, that this file is obsolete, and the -A argument is useless today.

# Note: This file is obsolete and is kept around for the time being for
# backward compatibility. Nobody should rely on the names defined here.
# Locales should always be specified by their full name.

I will keep it in there until glibc officially drops it.
