Subject: wg15-locale: ISO-8859 locales lissing
Date: Wed, 9 Apr 1997 02:10:46 -0400 (EDT)
Package: wg15-locale
Version: 2-5

iso_8859_1 LC_CTYPE specification does not work, /usr/share/locale/ISO
directory missing, aliases missing from /usr/share/locale/locale.alias.  It
should contain aliases like this:

ISO-8859-1      ISO_8859-1
iso-8859-1      ISO_8859-1
iso_8859_1      ISO_8859-1
ISO-8859-2      ISO_8859-1
iso-8859-2      ISO_8859-1
iso_8859_2      ISO_8859-1

and there should be a /usr/share/locale/ISO/LC_CTYPE defining these
locales.

Bug reassigned from package `wg15-locale' to `locale'. Request was from Christophe Le Bars <clebars@teaser.fr> to control@bugs.debian.org. (full text, mbox, link).

I do not understand this bug report.  The correct name to use for the
ISO 8859-1 charset is 'ISO-8859-1', not 'iso_8859_1'.  Why don't you
want to use 'ISO-8859-1'?

> ISO-8859-2      ISO_8859-1
> iso-8859-2      ISO_8859-1
> iso_8859_2      ISO_8859-1

Eh, ISO-8859-2 is not the same as ISO-8859-1.  Check
/usr/share/i18n/charmaps/ for the list of available charmaps.

Changed Bug title. Request was from Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com> to control@bugs.debian.org. (full text, mbox, link).
