When you upgrade from F23 to current Rawhide, you don't get any
"language pack" installed.
This is the bug.

It turns out this breaks many things
including libvirtd which no longer starts up:
$ ./daemon/libvirtd --help
/home/rjones/d/libvirt/daemon/.libs/lt-libvirtd: initialization failed
Simply installing glibc-langpack-en is sufficient to fix this, but I
was wondering if we should try to make libvirt work anyway.
The failure comes from setlocale (LC_ALL, "") returning NULL. The
attached test program prints:
$ ./test
setlocale failed, errno=No such file or directory
Also attached is the strace output so you can see what files it is
looking for.
Seems like solutions to this include:
These are workarounds - either around a user error, or the bug in
fedora upgrade that removed the locales.
There's nothing wrong with libvirt here.
