svn: error: cannot set LC_ALL locale
Hi,
If I call the svn commandline client I get the following errormessage:
svn: error: cannot set LC_ALL locale
svn: error: environment variable LANG is de_DE@euro
svn: error: please check that your locale name is corre
If I delete the LANG enviroment variable it works fine. Does anyone has a
hint for me what might be the reason.
Thanks in advance,
Dominik

Nope, if you see this error message, then the local name is not
supported by the system, and you don't need to check that.

It's not valid anyway. Standard names are of the form
language[_region[@charset]], and "euro" isn't a valid charset name. I'm
guessing they meant ISO-8859-15, which is ISO-8859-1 plus the euro sign
and a few other tweaks. Or maybe they used a nonstandard encoding, who
knows...

The error message is not clear for anyone not familiar with locale
settings. For example one needs to understand "environment variable
LANG" and "locale name" are the same thing. Also the message should
explictly say "check that your locale name is supported by the system"
which is more precise than "check that your locale name is correct".
Otherwise de_DE@euro was the standard Red Hat locale for Germany before
their switch to @UTF-8 locales. Which Linux distribution is used here?
SUSE? Red Hat? Fedora?

I don't think you need any hints, it's all in the error message. AFAIK
de_DE@euro is not a valid locale name; or if it is, your system doesn't
support it.
