Hi I'm experiencing a test failure in coreutils 8.23

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:

% localectl

System Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8

LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8

X11 Layout: n/a

I have been unable to find any misconfiguration of my locale settings. 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.
