This file contains no "week" or "first_weekday" entries, so the glibc built-in default, 19971130 and 1 are used, which would lead to a calendar displayed beginning with Sunday if this locale entry would be reachable, but it isn't, since the built-in POSIX locale is used whenever the POSIX locale is requested. So glibc is inconsistent with itself, its built-in POSIX is different from what the file called POSIX says. This means that if someone creates a locale which copies the POSIX locale's time stuff: LC_TIME copy "POSIX" END LC_TIME then this locale will behave differently than the POSIX locale, as this new external locale will start the weeks on Sunday, unlike built-in POSIX. -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=181 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
