I'm not sure, but I'd guess that the "locale" command is not available at least
on Windows, but its manpage doesn't mention it being part of POSIX and instead
says it was written for glibc, which may be a further portability problem. I'd
suggest doing a
if which locale; then
latin9_locale=latin9_locale=`locale -a | grep @euro | head -n 1`
else
latin9_locale=en_US.ISO-8859-1
fi
or if it is really required, exit 200 in the else branch.

PS: You too may want to run optimize --reorder on the repository you are

to reduce the contexts automatically without requiring people to run optimize
--reorder. Hard to tell.
