Description Carlos O'Donell 2022-02-24 14:29:50 UTC 
We need a fix for upstream swbz#28845:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28845

Patch upstream:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2022-February/136161.html

The patch is not yet included in a release.
Comment 1 Carlos O'Donell 2022-02-24 14:33:31 UTC 
This is a regression from RHEL8. The new C.UTF-8 cannot be compiled without localdef -c due to a defect in LC_MONETARY handling.
Comment 3 Carlos O'Donell 2022-02-25 17:26:20 UTC 
Final fix is in upstrem and the 2.35 release branch.
Comment 5 Florian Weimer 2022-02-28 10:33:22 UTC 
To reproduce:

dnf install -y glibc-locale-source
localedef -i C -f UTF-8 C.UTF-8

The bug causes this error output:

[error] LC_MONETARY: value for field `mon_decimal_point' must not be an empty string
[error] no output file produced because errors were issued

With the fix, there is no error, and the C.UTF-8 locale is regenerated.
