Locale charmap ANSI_X3.4-1968 instead of UTF-8

Hi,

I think there is a bug about the Locale addon, it is not working as expected.

LibreElec 8.90.009

Odroid C2/aarch64

Locale addon 9.0.102

Lastly, I updated from LE 8.2.5 and everything is ok except that my locale is not set properly.

The Locale addon settings are : fr_FR and UTF-8.

Here is what i get on ssh :

Code

LibreELEC:~ # 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
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

LibreELEC:~ # locale charmap

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
ANSI_X3.4-1968

charmap is ANSI_X3.4-1968 but it should be UTF-8. Some addon complain about it.

Ok, I uninstalled locale again, reboot, reinstall. And now it seems to be ok.

LibreElec 9.0.0

locale addon 9.0.102

I have this :

Code

LibreELEC:~ # locale
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

LibreELEC:~ # locale -m

LibreELEC:~ # locale charmap

Except the error message, I can say it's all good.

Maybe there was a bug in LibreElec 9 beta 9.
