localedef --no-archive, requires additional argument, and then it waits

what it does. There is "locale-gen" option "--no-archive", too, but when
I run "locale-gen --no-archive", I just get:

# locale-gen --no-archive
Generating locales...

   sk_SK.UTF-8... up-to-date
Generation complete.

And nothing changes.

Should have been clearer on my previous post, the dpkg command is for use after locale-gen.

Missed the part where you ran localedef until I reread the post. localedef is looking for the following, from example in man page:

EXAMPLES

       Compile the locale files for Finnish in the UTF-8 character set and add
       it to the default locale archive with the name fi_FI.UTF-8:

              localedef -f UTF-8 -i fi_FI fi_FI.UTF-8

Where:
         localedef [options] outputpath

and outpath with --no-archive is by default  /usr/lib/locale
otherwise outpath is /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive
