[PATCH] Dockerfile: Drop reference to locale.alias

[Jan Kiszka]

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.k...@siemens.com>

We are not setting a localename which is in alias in the supported
releases. At the same time, forky dropped support for alias, thus breaks
over this no longer existing alias file.

This is basically "kas-container: do not process locale aliases" from
my forky series.

Before rediscovering the quirks, please have a look there. This patch
here is fine, though.

Sorry, forgot about that series. Will take your patch 1 instead of this
one. Patch 2 is better solved they way I did, and patch 3 is still too
early. Everyone interested in forky container at this stage can easily
produce it locally.
