Dear Maintainer,

Thanks for working in locales.

The "date_fmt" string in es_ES (and in ca_ES as one friend confirmed) appears
to produce a wrong order in the dates.

With the standard generated file (including the line date_fmt="%a %b %e
%H:%M:%S %Z %Y" )

$ date

vie nov 28 02:25:05 CET 2014

This looks wrong for es_ES (and ca_ES), the day of the month should go before
the name of the month.

$ date +"%a %e %b %H:%M:%S %Z %Y"
vie 28 nov 02:26:27 CET 2014

This is correct. So I suppose the date_fmt line should be changed from

date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y"

to

date_fmt="%a %e %b %H:%M:%S %Z %Y"

I'm not sure if this is a problem of Debian or a problem in glibc in general. I
also don't know if other locales derived from "es" or "ca" are affected. But at
least, I can confirm that my proposal is correct for es_ES and ca_ES.

Below you can find the details about locale of my system.

Thank you very much

This issue has been fixed upstream for both es_ES and ca_ES locales
(actually many more) in the following commit:

https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;h=75ba929987f6950dd008ef0f6270f1b21e9af511

This commit went into glibc package version 2.31-0experimental0 and is
included in Bullseye. I am therefore closing the bug accordingly.

Regards,
Aurelien
