[Bug localedata/9917] New: Problem in the locale SA (Saudi Arabia)

[osamak dot wfm at gmail dot com]

Few days ago, I reported a bug
<http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573572> in GNOME bugzilla, and a
developer asked me to report the problem here.

There is a problem in the output of "$ LC_TIME=ar_SA.UTF8 date +%p", which
causes many other problems for other software.

The output should be '&#1605;' (PM) or '&#1589;' (AM), in other words as the output of "$
LC_TIME=ar_AE.UTF8 date +%p".

Actually, I'm not really sure that this is the right please, please note me if
it is not.

There is no problem.  No time format uses the am/pm data.  t_fmt_ampm is defined
as "%k:%M:%S".

Then why "$ LC_TIME=ar_SA.UTF8 date +%p" didn't work, but it worked with AE and EG?

Sorry, but I think it is a locale bug, there was such bug reported in debian,
which is simply ended by updating glibc 'main' code, which is here.

There is no problem.  Most sane locales don't have the braindead 12 hour format
and all programs using time formats have to be able to deal with that.
