Closed issue by ericonr on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/27491

Description:
The correct `localedir` is `/usr/share/locale`, which is respected on all glibc packages. Unfortunately, on musl some packages perform their own detection of what `localedir` to use, due to some really weird mechanisms, and end up putting those files into `/usr/lib/locale`. Since locale data isn't arch specific, it should be stored in `/usr/share`. For multilib systems, this also makes it so locale data only has to be installed once, in `/usr/share`, by the native package.

@q66 scraped his repo for packages with files in `/usr/lib/locale`, which should be fixed, unless there are specific circumstances (`pcsx2` is one such example, since it can't be installed at all on 64-bit systems).
