This first problem seems to be caused by seemingly superfluous <U00A0> characters at the end of most abbreviated months in localedata/locale/fi_FI: 171 abmon "<U0074><U0061><U006D><U006D><U0069><U00A0>";/ 172 "<U0068><U0065><U006C><U006D><U0069><U00A0>";/ 173 "<U006D><U0061><U0061><U006C><U0069><U0073>";/ 174 "<U0068><U0075><U0068><U0074><U0069><U00A0>";/ 175 "<U0074><U006F><U0075><U006B><U006F><U00A0>";/ 176 "<U006B><U0065><U0073><U00E4><U00A0><U00A0>";/ 177 "<U0068><U0065><U0069><U006E><U00E4><U00A0>";/ 178 "<U0065><U006C><U006F><U00A0><U00A0><U00A0>";/ 179 "<U0073><U0079><U0079><U0073><U00A0><U00A0>";/ 180 "<U006C><U006F><U006B><U0061><U00A0><U00A0>";/ 181 "<U006D><U0061><U0072><U0072><U0061><U0073>";/ 182 "<U006A><U006F><U0075><U006C><U0075><U00A0>" http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blame;f=localedata/locales/fi_FI As far as I can tell this problem has been present from the first git import. The attached patch fixes this issue. I am not sure about the second problem yet, will open a separate bug if appropriate. Created attachment 463075 [details]
Remove trailing whitespaces from abmon fi_FI locale: RHEL5 patch, for all the months
The previous patch was missing a few things and was against git glibc. This one is for RHEL5. Test case without the patch:
$ for i in `seq 1 12` ; do LANG=fi_FI.utf8 date -d `printf 2010%02d01 $i` +.%b. ; done
.tammi .
.helmi .
.maalis.
.huhti .
.touko .
.kesä .
.heinä .
.elo .
.syys .
.loka .
.marras.
.joulu .
With the patch:
$ for i in `seq 1 12` ; do LANG=fi_FI.utf8 date -d `printf 2010%02d01 $i` +.%b. ; done
.tammi.
.helmi.
.maalis.
.huhti.
.touko.
.kesä.
.heinä.
.elo.
.syys.
.loka.
.marras.
.joulu.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7 and Red Hat does not plan to fix this issue the currently developed update. Contact your manager or support representative in case you need to escalate this bug. Where is this defined? You mean where the abbreviated month names are defined? They are in the "abmon" section of the file /usr/share/i18n/locales/fi_FI. (According to comment 3 it is in localedata/locale/fi_FI, which I guess is the place in the source. I haven't checked that.) This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in a release.
