It=E2=80=99s arguably confusing but not a bug: =E2=80=98makeinfo=E2=80=99 (=
which comes from
Texinfo) tries to invoke the =E2=80=98locale=E2=80=99 command, which isn=E2=
=80=99t available,
hence this message.  Specifically, this appears to come from xspara.c
when a UTF-8 locale could not be installed:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  /* Otherwise, look for any UTF-8 locale in the output of "locale -a". */
  {
  FILE *p;
  char *line =3D 0;
  size_t n =3D 0;
  ssize_t ret;
  p =3D popen ("locale -a", "r");
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is now fixed in commit 2d337760501662f9a380a117312934e489bd5f1d.
Not sure whether it makes a different on the =E2=80=98makeinfo=E2=80=99 out=
put.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
