the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
This was already fixed for the Fedora Toolbx images:
https://github.com/containers/toolbox/issues/60
The UBI base images have RPM configured in a way that it filters out translations from the packages. eg., you won't find these translations of the manuals:
/usr/share/man/fr/man8/rpm.8*
/usr/share/man/ja/man8/rpm.8*
This is done by setting %_install_langs in the /etc/rpm/macros.image-language-conf file. Compare the output of this command with and without that file:
$ rpm --eval '%_install_langs'
Secondly, the UBI base images only have the C, POSIX and C.UTF-8 locales for the sake of being minimal. The Toolbx images are meant to be used interactively and should ship with full locale support offered by the glibc-all-langpacks package.
You will also see various error messages inside the container from `man(1):
⬢$ man rpm
man: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct
... locale(1):
⬢$ locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
