Package: pax
Version: 1:20090728-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/pax

pax -v is supposed to print the list of archive members in a format very
similar to ls -l.  However, instead of printing the date and time, as ls
-l does, it prints "en_US.UTF-8"[0].  This behavior is bizarre and not at
all POSIX-compliant.

Please fix pax to produce POSIX-compliant output with pax -v.  If you
need a testcase, I'm happy to provide one.

[0] This even occurs when using another locale, such as es_MX.UTF-8.
