Description Alan Cox 2003-08-29 21:55:21 UTC

This shows up with a locale of cy_GB.UTF-8. If I run rpm -qi desktop-printing
(or anything else for that matter) it displays a date string of 

Dydd Gwener 29 a viz Awst 2003 22:21:01 BST

The [a viz] is weird and nothing to do with Welsh at all and other things appear
pear shaped.

In locale C I get 
Build Date: Wed Jul 23 .... 2003\n
Install Date: Fri Aug 29 22:21:01 2003

In locale cy_GB.UTF-8 I get (rpm has not been localised yet)

Build Date:
Install Date:  Dydd Gwener 29 a viz Awst 2003 22:21:01 BST 

which is the wrong format, the build date has vanished. The signature date lower
down is present but mangled in the same way.

Comment 1 Alan Cox 2003-08-29 21:56:13 UTC

(other apps all appear to be sane but I can't see anything that makes rpm
trigger this)

Comment 2 Alan Cox 2004-06-14 09:14:21 UTC

Still seen in FC2

Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2004-06-14 09:31:31 UTC

I get:
LC_ALL=cy_GB.UTF-8 rpm -qi desktop-printing
Name        : desktop-printing             Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version     : 0.1.10                            Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
Release     : 26                            Build Date: Dydd Mercher 05 a viz Mai 2004 16:56:00 CEST
Install Date: Dydd Llun 10 a viz Mai 2004 11:25:55 CEST      Build Host: perf87.perf.redhat.com
Group       : Applications/File             Source RPM: desktop-printing-0.1.10-26.src.rpm
...
on FC2.
a viz there comes from:
d_t_fmt     "<U0044><U0079><U0064><U0064><U0020><U0025><U0041><U0020><U0025><U0064><U0020><U0061><U0020><U0076><U0069><U007A><U0020><U0025><U0042><U0020><U0025><U0059><U0020><U0025><U0054><U0020><U0025><U005A>"
which is translated to ASCII:
d_t_fmt     "Dydd %A %d a viz %B %Y %T %Z"

Ping Mr Cox.  Works for me, too.  Please close the bug if you concur.

Comment 5 Ulrich Drepper 2004-09-25 21:01:53 UTC

One last time: do we have to remove the "a viz" from the locale
specification or is it a feature of the language you don't know yet?

Comment 6 Alan Cox 2004-09-26 00:04:31 UTC

There is neither a 'v' nor a 'z' in the language.  Having dug around
it seems somehow a random bit of cornish has been pasted into the cy
file by someone wel before the cy translation project ever took off

s/a viz/mis/ 

and all will be happy.

Comment 7 Ulrich Drepper 2004-09-28 04:35:01 UTC

Fixed in CVS.
