Description:
Croatia has joined the Eurozone on January 1st 2023 and accepted the Euro as it's official currency, while the Croatian Kuna (HRK, symbol "kn") is officially out of use. The hr_HR locale should be updated to reflect that change.

Steps to reproduce:

$ cat /usr/share/i18n/locales/hr_HR | grep "int_curr_symbol\|currency_symbol"
int_curr_symbol "HRK "
currency_symbol "kn"

FIX: the relevant lines should be changed to:
int_curr_symbol "EUR "
currency_symbol "€"

This is an upstream issue (glibc). You will need to report it upstream to the glibc developers [1]. Please let us know how you get on.

It appears that a patch was prepared here [1], but it was not applied yet and doesn't seem to have much traction. Can I apply the patch myself somehow? The account creation process on that account is a bit annoying (have to wait for an email reply).

The upstream bug report set the component to locale rather than localedata so the report might not have reached the correct maintainer.

I commented on that upstream report...but still nothing. Someone more motivated than me will need to poke the glibc devs. This is still an "upstream" situation.
