Package: locales
Version: 2.7-16
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n


I reported this problem in #502356 six weeks ago, on glibc/2.3.6.ds1-13etch7.
The bug was closed as (already) fixed in 2.7-1, then it was archived.
And then I upgraded to testing and saw that the bug is still there, so I
guess I have to file a new one.

To reproduce, simply do this:

salix:~% /bin/echo -e "vword\nwword" | env LC_COLLATE=sv_SE.iso88591 sort 
wword
vword
salix:~% 

In sv_SE, 'w' is a variant of 'v', and collates after 'v' if and only if
the words are otherwise identical. This works much (most?) of the time,
but obviously not for the words above.
