Description of problem: As multibyte patch contains different paths from upstream and it is hard to track the changes in behaviour, this bugzilla will be to track found incompatibilites && fixes in coreutils-i18n patch for join utility. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): coreutils-8.15-8.fc18 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Call following commands with LC_ALL=C and LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 locales a) echo -n -e " b 1\n a 2\n" " b Y\n a Z\n" | join --check-order b) echo -n -e " a 2\n b 1\n" " b Y\n a Z\n" | join --check-order c) echo -n -e " a 2\n b 1\n" " b Y\n\n" | join --check-order d) echo -n -e "a\nx\no" "b\ny\np" | join --check-order e) echo -n -e "ID Name\n2 B\n1 A\n" "ID Color\n2 blue\n" | join --header --check-order Actual results: Results are different (or command fails) Expected results: Results should be same Additional info: mistakes found after applying attached patch (it adds multibyte tests for utilities cut, expand, fold, join, pr, sort, unexpand, uniq)

more detailed step to reproduce: a) echo " b 1\n a 2\n" > file1 sort file1 > file3 echo " b Y\n a Z\n" > file2 sort file2 > file4 join --check-order file3 file4 b) echo " a 2\n b 1\n" > file1 sort file1 > file3 echo " b Y\n a Z\n" > file2 sort file2 > file4 join --check-order file3 file4 c) echo " a 2\n b 1\n" > file1 sort file1 > file3 echo " b Y\n\n" > file2 sort file2 > file4 join --check-order file3 file4 d) echo "a\nx\no" > file1 sort file1 > file3 echo "b\ny\np" > file2 sort file2 > file4 join --check-order file3 file4 e) echo "ID Name\n2 B\n1 A\n" > file1 sort file1 > file3 echo "ID Color\n2 blue\n" > file2 sort file2 > file4 join --header --check-order file3 file4
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

All the commands from Comment 2 are working properly for me - I see there is no actual problem with join. I tried to run the multi-byte-patched test on join and there were just false errors - differences in stderr output like: *** 1 **** ! join: header-3-mb.1:3: is not sorted: 1 A --- 1 ---- ! join: header-3.1:3: is not sorted: 1 A -> NOTABUG
