Bug#56195: en_US locale breaks sorting
package: locales
version: 2.1.2-10
Given that LC_ALL or LANG triggers this, I'm going to assume it is a
locale problem first, though it could be sort itself. Namely, setting
the en_US locale forces case-insensitive sorting...
$ sort
A
b
C
d
A
C
b
d
$ LC_ALL=en_US sort
A
b
C
d
A
b
C
d
$ sort --version
sort (GNU textutils) 2.0
