Bug#404433: libc6: The "locale -a" command should output data in the current charmap/codeset
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
000000 66 72 61 6e e7 61 69 73 0a
000009
instead of:
vin:~> echo "français" | od -Ax -txC -v
000000 66 72 61 6e c3 a7 61 69 73 0a
00000a
