Bug 5529

Description of problem:

On various places, I see locales error. For instance on the terminale, when I shuts the computer down, or after various unrelated command lines, etc.
For instance, I just had this one:

----------------

# /etc/init.d/sshd start
/etc/sysconfig/i18n: ligne9: avertissement :setlocale : LC_NUMERIC : impossible de changer le paramètre de langue (ja_JP.UTF-8) : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
Starting sshd (via systemctl):                                   [  OK  ]
-----------------

Sorry that's French version. It says basically it cannot load the Japanese locale for LC_NUMERIC. So let's have a look at this i18n file at the start of the warning message:

-----------------
# cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n 
LC_TELEPHONE=ja_JP.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=fr_FR.UTF-8:fr
LC_MONETARY=ja_JP.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=ja_JP.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=ja_JP.UTF-8
LC_NAME=ja_JP.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=ja_JP.UTF-8
SYSFONT=lat0-16
LC_MEASUREMENT=ja_JP.UTF-8
LC_TIME=fr_FR.UTF-8
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=ja_JP.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR.UTF-8
-----------------

So I can see I have a mix of French and Japanese locales there!
French is normal. I installed from the Europe1 64 bits liveCD and set the installation and OS in French from the start.
But I never set anything in Japanese as a default language (and I indeed don't even have the "locales-ja" package). Also I never touched by hand any locale-related configuration file. I did only basic installations, all from the Package Manager.

I guess that's not fully random though. I indeed read and write some Japanese, so I installed Japanese fonts and ibus-anthy. So my guess is that there is something in one of the Japanese packages which tried to set some locales and left a mess there.

Below is a list of Japanese-related packages I installed (hopefully exhaustive):

- fonts-ttf-japanese 0.20110512 (noarch)
- fonts-ttf-japanese-extra 0.20040217 (noarch)
- anthy 9100h (x86_64)
- ibus-anthy 1.2.6 (x86_64)
- lib64-anthy0 9100h (x86_64)

I guess the problem is from one of these.
