Hi I'm experiencing a test failure in coreutils 8.23 ============================================================================ Testsuite summary for GNU coreutils 8.23 ============================================================================ # TOTAL: 306 # PASS: 279 # SKIP: 26 # XFAIL: 0 # FAIL: 1 # XPASS: 0 # ERROR: 0 ============================================================================ The failure is: coreutils-8.23 % gnulib-tests/test-localename test-localename.c:86: assertion 'strcmp (gl_locale_name (LC_MESSAGES, "LC_MESSAGES"), gl_locale_name_default ()) == 0' failed My system is: Arch linux % uname -a Linux Lappy 3.15.5-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 11 07:56:02 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux % gcc -v Using built-in specs.

However it is quite possibly the case. Coreutils was built with: ./configure && make && make check In an attempt at some debugging, I printed the two strings failing comparison: gl_locale_name(LC_MESSAGES (int 5), 'LC_MESSAGES'): en_US.UTF-8 gl_locale_name_default(): C I'll provide any other information upon request. Thanks. Henrik Juul Pedersen
