Description:
I have grub installed as a boot loader.
I also have et_EE.UTF-8 locale generated along with en_US.UTF-8 and ru_RU.UTF-8.
When I turn on my computer, I get a quick error message "error: file '/grub/locale/et.gmo' not found". Then the grub menu appears and the boot process goes fine.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
grub 2:2.04-7

Similar bug report about '/boot/grub/locale/fr.gmo' not found error (which was fixed in grub 2.00.5043-2): https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35937?project=3&order=dateopened&sort=desc

After I have disabled et_EE.utf8 locale, the message disappeared as expected. But when I enabled it once again I expected this error back, But It didn't appear anymore. I have run "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg".

Updating the package does not change the files actually used for booting.
Please re-run `grub-install` and `grub-mkconfig` with appropriate options. If the issue is gone we can close with 'not a bug'. (Well, at least no longer a bug.)

I didn't try reinstalling the package. I did grub-install and grub-mkconfig. The error message has just stopped appearing after I have removed et_EE locale and for unknown reason It didn't start appearing again after I added et_EE locale back. I did re-run "grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/efi --removable" and "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" every time I edited /etc/locale.gen and executed "locale-gen".

With grub 2:2.06.r322.gd9b4638c5-1 this error is back. Besides, I'm using et_EE.utf8 locale and need it.
