             Bug #: 13096
           Summary: fi_FI collation: [vwåäöþ] and [ÐÜ] are in wrong ranges
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.14
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
        AssignedTo: libc-locales@sources.redhat.com
        ReportedBy: lauri.kentta@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified

Proposed fix

In the Finnish locale (fi_FI), a couple of lower-case letters (namely [vwåäöþ])
have been put between upper-case letters. The converse is true for upper-case
letters Ð and Ü. This causes unexpected results in grep, for example:

export LC_COLLATE=fi_FI.UTF-8
echo v | grep -E '[a-z]' # actual: empty, expected: "v"
echo v | grep -E '[A-Z]' # actual: "v", expected: empty
echo x | grep -E '[a-z]' # actual: "x", expected: "x"
echo x | grep -E '[A-Z]' # actual: empty, expected: empty

I'm aware that the locales don't guarantee much about character ranges, but
this behaviour is clearly illogical, serves no purpose and might break
somebody's scripts.

This has been fixed in Debian years ago.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=441026

If I read their bug report correctly, this has been right in the past (glibc
2.3.6), probably broken by mistake.

Proposed fix attached.
