Message catalog can't be opened/accessed for language en_GB.iso88591.

[Stuart Green]

Anyone help me, clear this issue (if it is an issue)...During system startup I get the following message, and they seem to only appear in relation to networking/comms application startups:


Message catalog can't be opened/accessed for language en_GB.iso88591.
Language C will used.


For example:

Configure Loopback interfaces (lo0)
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S008net.init start":
----------------------------
Message catalog can't be opened/accessed for language en_GB.iso88591.
Language C will used.

Configuring PFIL
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S130pfilboot start":
----------------------------
Message catalog can't be opened/accessed for language en_GB.iso88591.
Language C will used.

Configure HP AUTO-PORT AGGREGATION interfaces
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S337hpapa start":
----------------------------
/sbin/rc2.d/S337hpapa started.
Please be patient. This may take about 20 seconds.

Hi:

This file should be in '/usr/lib/loc/locales*'. Do you have one there and does it have read-permissions? Verify that there are read/execute permissions on the directories above it, too.

Hi!

Take a look at /etc/rc.config.d/LANG, it's possible that you have configured that language and the applications are trying to use it but with no success. You could comment the lines of "LANG=en_GB.iso88591" and "export LANG" and then the default LANG will be C. You should assign other LANG through the .profile of a particular user.

You can just ignore it.
Or make sure LANG is set to American Nerd, C.

Whatever command these RC scripts are using doesn't have a message catalog with that locale.

>JRF: This file should be in '/usr/lib/loc/locales*'.

What file? Message catalogs for system commands should be in /usr/lib/nls/msg/$LANG/.
And I see none with en_*.

Good idea.
