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 répertoire de ce type
$ LANG=français ls fnord
ls: fnord: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type
$ LANG=french ls fnord
ls: fnord: No such file or directory

extract from pristine /etc/locale.alias:
français        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.

Cheers,

Okay, I am closing it now.
