Rock >Release: 4.0-CURRENT >Organization: >Environment: Bug is present at least since 3.0-CURRENT from July 1998 >Description: setting LANG to de_DE.ISO_8859-1, output isn't sorted correctly. >How-To-Repeat: % mkdir /emptydir; cd /emptydir % touch sl ss su % ls sl ss su % LANG=de_DE.ISO_8859-1 ls sl su ss % LANG=es_ES.ISO_8859-1 ls sl su ss % LANG=fr_FR.ISO_8859-1 ls sl ss su Only locales which use a different collate file seem to be affected. >Fix: In Latin 1 there exist the perfectly legal value "ß", which isn't the same as "ss". Two letters should always be considered as two letters. If one still insist in using 7-Bit ASCII there should be an additional locale de_DE.ASCII >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
