9 months ago Arch Linux, Debian, Ubuntu have locales configured and work fine. Some others may need to setup locales manually and that's can be easily done using standard methods. No distribution problems confirmed.
Permission denials you see can be a device-specific bug of proot utility. That's unless your device is rooted and you actively modifying files in Termux $PREFIX as root.
proot-distro is nothing more than just a shell script automating proot usage. By design it can't produce issues you described. However proot tends to be unstable and cause weird behavior, depending on device, Android and Linux kernel versions.
Distribution bugs are unlikely. When happen, they affect all installations in the world. Not just Termux proot.
PRoot issues should be reported to https://github.com/termux/proot/issues.
Problem description
I believe that this is the problem in proot script since all distros that i've tried almost all have no locales (only default C or POSIX locales) and unable to create one with locale-gen or set one that i needed like "en_US.UTF-8".
And second, all proot distros unable to write/create a file with error "permission denied" whenever i tried to install some specific package like shown below:
And in manjaro when i tried to change the locale with
localedef -c -f UTF-8 -i en_US en_US.UTF-8:If this was not the problem caused by proot script or outside of the distros bug then please guide me where i can find or ask the question to.
Thanks and regards.
What steps will reproduce the bug?
Installing some specific package like perl or glibc-locales or package that contains locales. Or trying to create/change the locale with
localedef -c -f UTF-8 -i en_US en_US.UTF-8orexport LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8.What is the expected behavior?
