Description of problem: gnome panel clock starts on wrong day (Monday instead of Sunday). I've reported this to gnome bugzilla and was told that this is a problem with locale data. My locale is as follows: neuromancer> locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= neuromancer> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tzdata-2006d-1.fc5 How reproducible: After installing FC5, the panel clock was messed up. It is always wrong, starting on Monday instead of Sunday. Steps to Reproduce: 1. have default us locale 2. log in 3. see calendar start on Monday instead of Sunday on panel clock Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: This didn't happen with FC4. I'm not sure if tzdata is the place for this or not. Maybe it's glibc?
I see exactly the opposite effect - with "pl_PL.UTF-8" locale first day of week is Sunday, while officialy Poland has Monday as the first day of the week. If that helps, Google shows: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_localedef#Why_is_the_Clock_Applet_still_not_right.3F (this is straight to the section of our interest). If they are right, glibc is the problem here. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [lam@pensja ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/locale/pl_PL.utf8 glibc-common-2.4-4 [lam@pensja ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/share/i18n/locales/pl_PL glibc-common-2.4-4
Both issues seem to be fixed upstream 2 weeks ago. For pl_PL the week keyword was not defined at all, for en_US it was wrong. en_US commit: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/localedata/locales/en_US.diff?r1=1.11&r2=1.12&cvsroot=glibc pl_PL commit: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/localedata/locales/pl_PL.diff?r1=1.14&r2=1.15&cvsroot=glibc
Yes, and in rawhide too.
Does that mean there's going to be an update for FC5 soon? I can't just install the rawhide version for a quick fix :-)
It is not yet decided when exactly FC5 glibc updates will be done, but this among many other bugfixes will be included then.
