Re: csplit reports No space left on device

[Rodolfo Aramayo]

Note that the first strace error log says:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/C.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY)
= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

In Ubuntu the directory:

/usr/share/locale/C.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/

does not exist. Instead, I can see a:

 /usr/share/locale/C/LC_MESSAGES/

Also, when I run the command:

locale -a

I get:
C
C.UTF-8
POSIX
en_US.utf8

so C.UTF-8 is there

Finally, the file 'libc.mo' does not seem to be present in the system

Thanks

Rodolfo
