glibcand dependent packages, some locale info is missing from the output of# locale -a.# localedef -f WINDOWS-31J -i ja_JP ja_JP.SJIS # locale -a | grep ja ja_JP ja_JP.eucjp ja_JP.sjis <=== here it is. ja_JP.ujis ja_JP.utf8 japanese japanese.euc # yum update glibc -y (..SNIP..) # locale -a | grep ja ja_JP ja_JP.eucjp ja_JP.ujis ja_JP.utf8 japanese japanese.euc /* ja_JP.sjis is missing */Why does this happen?
