[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

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

% localectl
   System Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8
                  LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: dk-latin1
      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.
