The following warning occures:

As you can see it tries to generate the old belarusian locale for alternative spelling (@classic) though there is no such locale and it is just an old name of modern @alternative locale definition.

Calm down, please. I mistyped, only @classic disappeared. @latin is there:

$ grep be_BY /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
be_BY.UTF-8 UTF-8
be_BY CP1251
be_BY@latin UTF-8
