From: ghughes@cs.ucsb.edu
Subject: locales: Functions refer to /usr/share/i18n instead of /usr/share/i18n/locales

X-Mailer: bug 2.94

Package: locales
Version: 2.0.4-1

localedef tells me this:
; localedef --help
Usage: localedef [OPTION]... name
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
  -c, --force               create output even if warning messages were
issued
  -h, --help                display this help and exit
  -f, --charmap=FILE        symbolic character names defined in FILE
  -i, --inputfile=FILE      source definitions are found in FILE
  -u, --code-set-name=NAME  specify code set for mapping ISO 10646
elements
  -v, --verbose             print more messages
  -V, --version             output version information and exit
      --posix               be strictly POSIX conform

System's directory for character maps: /usr/share/i18n/charmaps
                       locale files  : /usr/share/locale:/usr/share/i18n
Report bugs using the `glibcbug' script to <bugs@gnu.ai.mit.edu>.

But there are no locale files in /usr/share/i18n; only in
/usr/share/i18n/locale!

As a result, I'm getting messages like

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LC_ALL = "",
        LC_CTYPE = "en_US.ISO8859-1",
        LANG = (unset)
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

Which isn't right for me.
