Bug#644270: [eglibc] strcoll(): collation sequences of locales unspecified



Package: eglibc
Version: 2.13-21
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

strcoll(3) explains that:

The strcoll() function compares the two strings s1 and s2. It returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if s1 is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than s2. The comparison is based on strings interpreted as appropriate for the program's current locale for category LC_COLLATE. (See setlocale(3).)

Unfortunately, it seems the way collation happens depending on the LC_COLLATE locale is unspecified. I couldn't find any description, even upstream.
