Description of problem: When LC_TIME (or LC_ALL) is set to sr_RS, the output of date has additional newline. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): coreutils-8.4-35.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: Change the locale settings and run the date command: [root@virt-015 ~]# LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" date Mon Jun 30 14:51:21 CEST 2014 [root@virt-015 ~]# LC_TIME="cs_CZ.UTF-8" date Po čen 30 14:51:28 CEST 2014 [root@virt-015 ~]# LC_TIME="sr_RS.UTF-8" date пон, 30. јун 2014. 14:51:56 CEST [root@virt-015 ~]# Actual results: A new line is added after the date command (as seen in the above paste) which can cause issues with scripts processing the output from multiple date commands for example. Expected results: date output should look the same in all locale settings.
When I said 'look the same' I meant behave in the similar manner without superflous newlines or unexpected multilined formats :)
Locale D_T_FMT string format is handled by glibc(-common) itself - reassigning - anyway - for RHEL 6 this is probably wontfix, as sr_RS is not officially supported language.
Reproducable in Fedora 20 as well in the same way, with packages: glibc-common-2.18-12.fc20.x86_64 coreutils-8.21-21.fc20.x86_64
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Needs review in rawhide.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)
