The test case works with libc-2.11.1: Ubuntu Lucid (libc-2.11.1), OpenSUSE (libc-2.11.1) But not with: Fedora 14 (libc-2.13), Fedora 12 ( libc-2.11.2), Debian lenny (libc-2.7), Gentoo (libc-2.13-r2) If this is a regression in glibc, perhaps the priority should be raised (or set). glibc-2.14.90-5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/glibc-2.14.90-5 glibc-2.14-6 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/glibc-2.14-6 Package glibc-2.14.90-5: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 16 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing glibc-2.14.90-5' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/glibc-2.14.90-5 then log in and leave karma (feedback). Since the (automated) message asked me to test: Yes, of course I could, but all download links for Fedora-16 pre-release still point to Fedora-15-beta: http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease.html Is there an easy way (preferably a network install iso) to get Fedora-16 alpha? glibc-2.14.90-6 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/glibc-2.14.90-6 glibc-2.14.90-7 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/glibc-2.14.90-7 glibc-2.14-7 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/glibc-2.14-7 glibc-2.14.90-8 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Description of problem: If the current locale is Turkish, setting a new locale fails if the locale contains an 'I'. Steps to Reproduce: Compile and run: #include <stdio.h> #include <locale.h> int main(void) { char *s; printf("%s\n", setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "tr_TR")); printf("%s\n", setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL)); s = setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "tr_TR.ISO8859-9"); printf("%s\n", s ? s : "null"); return 0; } Actual results: [stefan@fedora-14-amd64 ~]$ ./xxx tr_TR tr_TR null Expected results: tr_TR tr_TR tr_TR.ISO8859-9 Additional info: My guess is that somewhere tolower() fails to convert the 'I' to a proper lowercase 'i' if LC_CTYPE is Turkish.
