Indeed, I can confirm that
[~] texdoc -l geometry
 1 /home/norbert/tl/2022/texmf-dist/doc/latex/geometry/geometry-de.pdf
   = [de] Package documentation (German)
 2 /home/norbert/tl/2022/texmf-dist/doc/latex/geometry/geometry.pdf
   = [en] Package documentation (English)
 3 /home/norbert/tl/2022/texmf-dist/doc/latex/lapdf/geometry.pdf
 4 /home/norbert/tl/2022/texmf-dist/doc/metapost/mp3d/tugboat-geometry-space.pdf
   = [en] Paper on geometry, for TUGboat
 5 /home/norbert/tl/2022/texmf-dist/doc/latex/geometry/README.md
   = Package Readme
 6 /home/norbert/tl/2022/texmf-dist/doc/latex/geometry/changes.txt
 7 /home/norbert/tl/2022/texmf-dist/doc/luatex/luatexja/lltjp-geometry.pdf

while
[~] locale

That is indeed strange.
