Please indicate why the it_IT@euro locale is insufficient:

$ LC_ALL=it_IT@euro locale -k charmap
charmap="ISO-8859-15"

Thanks.

Comment 3 Piyush Bhoot 2020-06-17 12:13:02 UTC
Sorry didnt notice it_IT@euro essentially uses the ISO8859–15 encoding.
Customer has confirmed it_IT@euro is sufficient.

Thanks you for details.

Comment 4 Florian Weimer 2020-06-17 12:40:29 UTC
Thanks for the confirmation. We are tracking an enhancement for langpack locale aliases in bug 1326470; it should make the supported locales more obvious if glibc-all-langpacks is not used.
