And indeed, there's nothing called no_NO any more in 11.1.
Thanks for the hint. It's much appreciated. Problem is solved by
using nb_NO.ISO8859-1 instead.
This part of "20151108" in UPDATING should probably have been enough
of a clue for me:
Due to a bug in install(1) it is recommended to remove the ancient
locales before running make installworld.
However, since it was mentioned in a note starting with
"Add support for unicode collation" I most likely didn't even read it
since I'll never touch unicode.
Regards
