Hi Daniel!

I'm seeing this on Fedora 41 with guestfs:

TASK [devconfig : Configure en_US.UTF-8 locale files]
******************************************************************************************
changed: [kdevops-nfsd] => (item={'path': '/etc/default/locale', 'line':
'LANG=en_US.UTF-8'})
changed: [kdevops-nfsd] => (item={'path': '/etc/default/locale', 'line':
'LANGUAGE=en_US:en'})
changed: [kdevops-nfsd] => (item={'path': '/etc/locale.gen', 'line':
'en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8'})
 [started TASK: devconfig : Generate and update locales on kdevops-nfsd]

TASK [devconfig : Generate and update locales]
*************************************************************************************************
task path:
/home/cel/src/kdevops/buildbot-configs/playbooks/roles/devconfig/tasks/main.yml:93
fatal: [kdevops-nfsd]: FAILED! => {
    "changed": true,
    "cmd": "locale-gen en_US.UTF-8\nupdate-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8\n",
    "delta": "0:00:00.003794",

    "rc": 127,
    "start": "2025-10-14 17:30:14.762300"
}

STDERR:

/bin/sh: line 1: locale-gen: command not found
/bin/sh: line 2: update-locale: command not found


MSG:

non-zero return code


Neither of those commands appears in the Fedora 41 package inventory.
