Description Miloslav Trmač 2009-02-13 16:24:38 UTC 
The locale.archive format stores MD5 hashes of locale data it contains, and the hashes are used by localedef to check whether a new piece is already stored in the archive - without checking for MD5 collisions.
Comment 1 Ulrich Drepper 2009-04-18 12:12:50 UTC 
I changed that upstream.  Should be in the next rawhide build.
Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 11:21:32 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.
