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. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pax depends on: ii libc6 2.9-23+multiarch GNU C Library: Shared libraries pax recommends no packages. pax suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 713 440 7475 | http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
