I did. I've checked.

Of course it *is* a bug that the simple action of installing glibc-locales
after a pure install doesn't result in locales taking effect (or that
lib/locales doesn't exist). I just wanted to have people with more context
than I have a look at it, in case I had missed something.

I'll report it then.
