Description: initdb fails with loale ko_KR.eucKR
Details:
If you set your LANG=ko_KR.eucKR to set your locale to Korean, the initdb
command fails. It works with other locales, e.g. various Japanese, Chinese,
and even other Korean locales (e.g. ko_KR.utf8). But ko_KR.eucKR always
fails. The command being invoked is:
initdb -E UTF8 --no-locale -D <DB_DIR> -U <USER> --pwfile=<PASSWORDFILE>
The output of initdb is an "sh:" error (in Korean), followed by a "fgets
failure:" (also Korean), and then the following in English:
The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not found in the same
directory as "<PGDIR>/bin/initdb". Check your installation.
The postgres binary is of course in that folder, hence working with other
locales.
