Here and in tst.grouping-LC_ALL.x, mentioning a reference to a specific package
is not generally helpful because other distros do not use yum and the locale
data is provided by other packages.  Perhaps just mention that the en.US.utf8
locale cannot be found?

Also, you test for en_US.utf8 here but set LC_ALL and LC_NUMERIC to en_US.UTF-8.
Perhaps one or the other should be used consistently?
