Well, this is getting into the weeds a bit about NixOS, and isn’t really
relevant here, but just to humor you, configuring it like that results
in the same error. Look at [the documentation for supportedLocales] and
[the documentation on defaultLocale], in particular their examples.
“eo.UTF-8/UTF-8” is the way they want you to write that in
`supportedLocales'. You can also [check out the way it’s implemented],
which involves normalizing those locale strings such that they match the
ones provided by glibc.
Then it sounds like it's a NixOS bug. As I said, eo.UTF-8 is definitely a
valid locale, and is supported by glibc, so there is no reason that NixOS
should reject it just because it's not present in some text file. You can
try it:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>
#define CHECK(L) if (!setlocale (LC_ALL, L)) printf ("invalid locale %s\n", L);
int main ()
{
CHECK ("eo");
CHECK ("eo.UTF-8");
}
Then I guess Emacs doesn’t use it, which is why your suggested fix
worked on NixOS but wouldn’t work on a Debian-based system.
It’s an obsolete file, as has been pointed out upthread, so it’s not in
use at all, period. And whether or not you use X11 has nothing to do
with whether or not you use Debian. The fix I’m suggesting would work
equally as well on Debian as NixOS, or any Linux-based system, since
they use the same system for locales. But don’t take my word for it. Try
it yourself.
No, it's another one that is obsolete: /usr/share/locale/locale.alias is
obsolete, /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias is not, it has last been
updated on February 2nd. It is used at least by libx11 and by Emacs.
And no, the fix you suggested does not work on Debian. I tried it myself,
it has no effect whatsoever. When /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias is
present, the information it contains takes precedence over those in
locale-language-names.
