Package: coreutils
Version: 8.30-3+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
Hi,
In #584837, it was requested that the symlinks from
...//LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo
to
../LC_TIME/coreutils.mo
were removed due to being pointless and unused.
I'm unsure if that was the case at that point (it's been 10 years), but
current implementations of some of the commands in coreutils do need and
expect LC_TIME to operate correctly:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/ca/LC_TIME/coreutils.mo", O_RDONLY) = 3
In particular, at least ls and date will try to use it to represent date
formats correctly on verbose outputs. This affects at least Catalan,
which shows time incorrectly unless you force a date format string by
hand.
See also https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=33211 for some
related issue.
Thanks,
Jordi
