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.
(other apps all appear to be sane but I can't see anything that makes rpm trigger this)
Still seen in FC2

Ping Mr Cox. Works for me, too. Please close the bug if you concur. # LC_ALL=cy_GB.UTF-8 rpm -qi glibc Name : glibc Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.3.3 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.

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?
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.
Fixed in CVS.
