Well, you certainly can't expect a new locale to be generated (ru_RU has copy "i18n" statement and /etc/sysconfig/ directory contains i18n file, which is not valid locale definition), but I agree localedef shouldn't segfault. I've checked in a patch upstream. (In reply to comment #1) > Well, you certainly can't expect a new locale to be generated (ru_RU has > copy "i18n" statement and /etc/sysconfig/ directory contains i18n file, which > is not valid locale definition), but I agree localedef shouldn't segfault. so, if localedef is reading file i18n , which is not anyhow mentioned in 'man localedef' , can someone here fix a man page (FILES section) also ? thanks. You apparently don't understand what I wrote. It is not localedef that magically tries to read i18n file. The ru_RU file you requested to be compiled has LC_CTYPE copy "i18n" END LC_CTYPE statements, which instructs localedef to read i18n file and use it's LC_CTYPE definition for ru_RU's LC_CTYPE definition. See http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/localedef.html INPUT FILES section. ahh ye, my fault, alltime jumping through text, trying to find most important patterns, so misslooking some parts. thanks a lot for explanation, it's clear for me now. :-) The segfaults should be fixed in glibc-2.4.90-26 in rawhide, instead errors are reported.

Description of problem: localedef segfaulting if called from /etc/sysconfig directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 2) $ rpm -q --qf "%{N}-%{V}.%{R}.%{ARCH}\n" glibc-common glibc-common-2.3.4.2.13.x86_64 How reproducible: $ cd /etc/sysconfig $ localedef ru_RU.CP1251 -i ru_RU -f CP1251 i18n:6: syntax error: not inside a locale definition section i18n:7: syntax error: not inside a locale definition section i18n:8: syntax error: not inside a locale definition section i18n:9: syntax error: not inside a locale definition section i18n:10: syntax error: not inside a locale definition section Segmentation fault Actual results: segfault Expected results: generated new locale Additional info: i think it's generic problem of all localedef versions.
