            Bug ID: 22292
           Summary: localedef exits with error 4 when it should be error 1
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.27
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: locale
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: carlos at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

The current localedef implementation treats all warnings like errors.

This means that you can never have just warnings and an exit code of 1 as is
required by POSIX.

The fix for this is for localdef to stop using error_message_count to count
errors, and instead adopt some better internal structure to track issued
errors, warnings, and verbose messages.

If any errors are seen, then exit with error 4 without writing data.

If only warnings are seen, then exit with error 1 to indicate data was written.
