From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050302 Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2 Description of problem: This bug comes from a long date, IIRC. I remember seing it on RedHat9, maybe before. It's kinda harmless, and maybe no one cared yet. On line 273 of rc.sysinit, it does: action $"Setting clock $CLOCKDEF: `date`" date Note that the command "date" is inside the $".." text, and so it gets i18n'ed too. In portuguese, "date" becomes "data", and it spits an error on boot time: rc.sysinit: data: command not found I also suspect you don't need the *two* "date" commands on that line, just to print date on screen. -Andre Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.93.5-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Just reboot the machine and watch rc.sysinit run. Actual Results: I can see the error "rc.sysinit: data: command not found on line 273". Expected Results: The expected result was to see the string "Setting clock $CLOCKDEF: " followed by the current date and not an error. Additional info:
Fixed on the various branches (this was missed in some of the Indic locales too. Will be fixed in future builds.
