Solaris 11 Locale en_GB.UTF-8 / en_GB.ISO8859-1 / en_GB.ISO8859-15

When you install Solaris 11/11 from standard text installer cdrom, the en_GB-UTF-8 locales are not installed, even if you select British locales on install. EDIT 4th FEB 2018 - Still valid for Solaris 11.4 Beta.  To make sure packages are have the correct localisation, IPS uses facet as a localisation personality. $ pkg facet FACETS VALUE facet.locale.pt_BR True facet.locale.es_ES True facet.locale.en_US True facet.locale.zh_TW True facet.locale.zh_CN True facet.locale.de_DE True facet.locale.fr_FR True facet.locale.it_IT True facet.locale.ko_* True facet.locale.ja_* True facet.locale.es True facet.locale.de True facet.locale.zh True facet.locale.ko True facet.locale.it True facet.locale.pt True facet.locale.fr True facet.locale.en True facet.locale.ja True facet.locale.* False As you can see no en_GB is described and " facet.locale.* False " is a deny everything else rule. So let change this. I'm assuming you have a Solaris 11 repository already configured
