Bug#404379: Please provide a default /etc/gai.conf

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

package: libc6
severity: wishlist
version: 2.5-0exp3
Tags: experimental

Libc6 2.5 and up implements configurable source address selection policy 
through /etc/gai.conf, yet the file is not shipped, there is no 
documentation and the template from upstream is not even 
in /usr/share/doc/libc6/whatever.

Regards,

Bug#404433: libc6: The locale -a command should output data in the current charmap/codeset

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-9
Severity: normal

On this machine, there's a locale called français, but in a UTF-8
environment, locale -a doesn't output the non-ASCII character in
UTF-8:

vin:~ locale charmap
UTF-8

vin:~ locale -a | grep fran | od -Ax -txC -v
00 66 72 61 6e e7 61 69 73 0a
09

instead of:

vin:~ echo français | od -Ax -txC -v
00 66 72 61 6e c3 a7 61 69 73 0a
0a
