| 24 | <para>The <envar>LC_ALL</envar> variable controls the localization of
|
|---|
| 25 | certain programs, making their messages follow the conventions of a
|
|---|
| 26 | specified country. If the host system uses a version of Glibc older
|
|---|
| 27 | than 2.2.4, having <envar>LC_ALL</envar> set to something other than
|
|---|
| 28 | <quote>POSIX</quote> or <quote>C</quote> (during this chapter) may cause
|
|---|
| 29 | issues if you exit the chroot environment and wish to return later.
|
|---|
| 30 | Setting <envar>LC_ALL</envar> to <quote>POSIX</quote> or <quote>C</quote>
|
|---|
| 31 | (the two are equivalent) ensures that everything will work as expected
|

| 32 | in the chroot environment.</para>

|
|---|
| 37 | immediately after their installation. This, combined with turning off
|
|---|
| 38 | hashing, limits the risk that old programs from the host are being used
|

| 39 | when they should not be used any longer.</para>
