RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Installing atomic host in Australia, post install during SSH I see:

Last failed login: Wed Mar  8 11:32:57 AEST 2017 from 172.24.200.144 on ssh:notty
There was 1 failed login attempt since the last successful login.
Last login: Wed Mar  8 11:29:00 2017
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_AU.UTF-8)
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_AU.UTF-8)
/bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_AU.UTF-8)
-bash-4.2# 

Expected results: Locales outside of America work.

We're currently only shipping the officially supported list of locales. Unfortunately, en_AU.UTF-8 is not one of them. For the full list, see https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/pdf/7.0_Release_Notes/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-7-7.0_Release_Notes-en-US.pdf

Is there a plan to allow the addition of other locales (possibly via system containers)?

For now I have solved this by building my own atomic images with en_AU.

If you don't mind, let's discuss this upstream? Whatever decision we come up with in Fedora will likely be followed by RHEL AH. I commented on an issue we already had on this, though we might end up opening a new one:
