Which Locale Entry In Rc.conf?

This is the ending output of a glibc upgrade:

Generating locales...
  en_US.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.

And the output of a locale check:

$ locale -a
C
POSIX
en_US.utf8

Which one (en_US.UTF-8 or en_US.utf8) do I put as the LOCALE entry in rc.conf?? At present I have it as listed below:

LOCALE="en_US.utf8"

Re: Which Locale Entry In Rc.conf?

My locale -a:

C
POSIX
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8

I have in rc.conf - locale:"en_US.iso88591" If I put utf8 than I have problem with MC - char. are ilegible

Mitja

P.S.

Is it "normal" that locale -a shows en_US?

The last one is correct.

The last one is correct.

Thanks for clearing that up (although still a curious instance).
