locale screwup

[Tim]

Here's a weird one:  After a bunch of updates yesterday my system has
changed from Australian locale to American.

How do you even change that post-installation?  I see no tool for it.

I probably should say "login" rather than system has changed.  But how,
and why's it partial?

[tim@fluffy ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

[tim@fluffy ~]$ localectl
   System Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: us
      X11 Layout: au

[tim@fluffy ~]$ cat .config/user-dirs.locale
en_AU

Uhh...

I think you can change it in /etc/locale.conf and/or localectl set-locale
locale=en_AU? Never heard of *that* happening, before, though. That is
incredibly strange.
