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.

mysterious non-sensical messages in stderr

There seems to be some important problem underneath this. How come C library doesn't support as_IN, when it does?

gedit doesn't work etiher

Seems like this is not just firefox problem either. Reassigning to glib2

Moreover I don't understand what is /usr/sbin/build-locale-archive supposed to do. On all Fedora/RHELs I found, it just gives an error and according to http://stephane.lesimple.fr/wiki/blog/fixing_a_locale-archive_breakage it somehow relates to this problem.

it should be as_IN.UTF-8,then it is working

This bug is already reported and working with upstream (firefox issue): bug
#623023.

Please refer bug #578072 for more detail

locale (as_IN) is not supported, but as_IN.UTF-8.

so this is NotBug for gtk2 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=657556#c2)
