Bug 34367 – collating in pl_PL locale is broken

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Rafal Rzepecki 2003-11-25 15:25:20 UTC]

The collating order in pl_PL locale is somehow broken. As far as I know Polish 
alphabet, the order should be 
"aA??bBcC??dDeE??fFgGhHiIjJkKlL??mMnN??oO

[Comment 1 Rafal Rzepecki 2003-11-25 15:25:20 UTC]

The collating order in pl_PL locale is somehow broken. As far as I know Polish 
alphabet, the order should be 
"aA??bBcC??dDeE??fFgGhHiIjJkKlL??mMnN??oOóÓpPqQrRsS??tTuUvVwWxXyYzZ????". And 
it obviously isn't, as the following script shows. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Execute the following script: 
--- CUT --- 
#!/bin/bash 
LC_ALL=pl_PL 
echo "Locale set to ${LC_ALL}." 
ENGLISH_ALPHABET="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" 
POLISH_ALPHABET="a?bc?de?fghijkl?mn?oópqrs?tuvwxyz??A?BC?DE?FGHIJKL?MN?OÓPQRS?TUVWXYZ??" 
 
echo "Testing [a-z] with english alphabet. Should give \"Z\"." 
echo ${ENGLISH_ALPHABET} | sed -e 's/[a-z]//g' 
echo "Testing [A-Z] with english alphabet. Should give \"a\"." 
echo ${ENGLISH_ALPHABET} | sed -e 's/[A-Z]//g' 
echo "Testing [a-?] with english alphabet. Should give \"\"." 
echo ${ENGLISH_ALPHABET} | sed -e 's/[a-?]//g' 
echo "Testing [A-?] with english alphabet. Should give \"a\"." 
echo ${ENGLISH_ALPHABET} | sed -e 's/[A-?]//g' 
echo "Testing [a-z] with polish alphabet. Should give \"??Z??\"." 
echo ${POLISH_ALPHABET} | sed -e 's/[a-z]//g' 
echo "Testing [A-Z] with polish alphabet. Should give \"a????\"." 
echo ${POLISH_ALPHABET} | sed -e 's/[A-Z]//g' 
echo "Testing [a-?] with polish alphabet. Should give \"?\"." 
echo ${POLISH_ALPHABET} | sed -e 's/[a-?]//g' 
echo "Testing [A-?] with polish alphabet. Should give \"a\"." 
echo ${POLISH_ALPHABET} | sed -e 's/[A-?]//g' 
--- CUT --- 
 
Actual Results:  
$ ./testlocale_pl 
Locale set to pl_PL. 
Testing [a-z] with english alphabet. Should give "Z". 
Z 
Testing [A-Z] with english alphabet. Should give "a". 
a 
Testing [a-?] with english alphabet. Should give "". 
 
Testing [A-?] with english alphabet. Should give "a". 
a 
Testing [a-z] with polish alphabet. Should give "??Z??". 
??????????????Z?? 
Testing [A-Z] with polish alphabet. Should give "a????". 
a???????????????? 
Testing [a-?] with polish alphabet. Should give "?". 
???????????????? 
Testing [A-?] with polish alphabet. Should give "a". 
a???????????????? 
 

Expected Results:  
$ ./testlocale_pl 
Locale set to pl_PL. 
Testing [a-z] with english alphabet. Should give "Z". 
Z 
Testing [A-Z] with english alphabet. Should give "a".

? 
Testing [A-?] with polish alphabet. Should give "a".

Created attachment 21293 [details]
the script showing bad collating (iso-8859-2)

It seems that bugzilla has eaten extended characters. The testscript is
attached.

[Comment 3 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2003-11-26 11:53:01 UTC]

Please try glibc-2.3.2-r9 if possible, thanks.

[Comment 4 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2003-12-19 03:00:33 UTC]

Rafal, well?

[Comment 5 Rafal Rzepecki 2003-12-19 08:08:32 UTC]

Still the same problem in 2.3.2-r9.

I'll test glibc-2.3.3-beta soon.

[Comment 6 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-12-10 06:29:21 UTC]

Stale bug. Reopen if this problem persists with current stable glibc (2.3.5-r2
at this time).
