This should be fixed in its ja.po, it's not software implementation issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ls -l with LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 2. f**k Actual Results: The distro is garbage. Expected Results: The distro should speak sane Japanese. Additional info: This issue might happen on Chinese or Korean environmemt, but I don't know what's in their .po files.
Do you have a patch to fix this?
Created attachment 100787 [details] diff for coreutils-5.2.1/po/ja.po Fix for date format
Attached
Thanks. Fixed in 5.2.1-11.
So according to bug #118958 this wasn't sufficient. Please supply a patch which is: I don't really understand what's going on here.

Tim, Did you see the attachment 106269 [details] in Bug 118958? The upper (execute "ls -l") is an actual result, and the lower is an expected one. The attachment 100787 [details] in this bug fixes it.
According to bug #118958 comment #2 this was not sufficient. Please confirm/deny that the current coreutils package (which includes the patch from attachment 100787 [details] as "coreutils-jday.patch"), 5.2.1-54, gives the correct result.
So, the behavior that was believed to be wrong (æ¥ does not follow the day although æ follows the month) is back in FC5, such as in coreutils-5.93-7.2 I see that the patch from attachment 100787 [details] was dropped on the FC5 branch. Is this intentional? Did upstream or someone decide that not having the day character is better because it's more consistent with other languages or something? If so, I suppose this could be closed.
I dropped the patch, because I got no answer to comment #8.
