Package: locales Version: 2.3.1-17 Severity: important Hello Debian glibc maintainers,
This bug is basically a reopen of #174253 which has been closed a bit hastily and is archived now. --- How to reproduce the problem: Set up fr_FR ISO-8859-1 in locales.gen Use the Debian provided locale.alias $ LANG=fr_FR ls fnord ls: fnord: Aucun fichier ou r�pertoire de ce type $ LANG=fran�ais ls fnord ls: fnord: Aucun fichier ou r�pertoire de ce type $ LANG=french ls fnord ls: fnord: No such file or directory extract from pristine /etc/locale.alias: fran�ais fr_FR.ISO-8859-1 french fr_FR.ISO-8859-1 After more investigation with gdb it seems that only odd lines in /etc/locale.alias. Even lines have no effect whatsoever. What has probably happened in #174253 is that a new glibc has expanded /etc/locale.alias a bit so that japanese has moved from an even to an odd position, fixing the bug as far as japanese is concerned. If you cannot fix the code, a work around is to double each line in /etc/locale.alias. This is ugly but it is better than to keep the bug in sarge.
