First of all, I did not implied that you did not do what were supposed to do. It is quite possible that the people who have assembled OI have done something stupid and that's exactly what I meant. Now, I don't know the French collation rules, but in Greek the accented letters should appear in the same position as unaccented letters. > A number of my engineers use this with Russian on a frequent basis, and I > know > at least a few people are using Chinese locales. > Yes but it fails with the Greek one. > > I just tested this myself, and I am indeed seeing the crash you indicated … > this > is very strange.. it only happens in bootadm update-archive.
