Description Pierre Ossman 2005-10-03 14:18:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
glibc no longer gives a correct answer to some locale calls.

Test program:

#include <langinfo.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
        printf("First weekday: %d\n", (int)nl_langinfo(_NL_TIME_FIRST_WEEKDAY)[0]);
        printf("Week first day: %d\n", nl_langinfo(_NL_TIME_WEEK_1STDAY));

        return 0;
}

Output:

[drzeus@poseidon]$ LC_TIME=sv_SE ./langtest
First weekday: 7
Week first day: 19971130

Expected:
[drzeus@poseidon]$ grep weekday /usr/share/i18n/locales/sv_SE
first_weekday 2

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-2.3.90-12
glibc-common-2.3.90-12


This bug is causing problems here since it throws off calculation of week
numbers in every application.
Comment 1 Pierre Ossman 2005-10-03 15:32:05 UTC 
False alarm. My code misses a setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); so it will of course not work.

The problem must be in GTK+ since it is gtk-based programs that are misbehaving
(calander widget most notably). I'll continue digging. Sorry for the noise.
