Summary: sort -h performs incorrectly if in utf8 locale. Project: GNU Core Utilities Submitted by: None Submitted on: Wed 02 Sep 2009 19:12:06 UTC Category: None Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any _______________________________________________________ Details: Sample shell session: % echo $LC_ALL % echo $LC_COLLATE C % echo $LANG en_GB.utf8 % printf "1Mi\n1M" | sort -h 1M 1Mi % export LANG=en_GB % printf "1Mi\n1M" | sort -h sort: both SI and IEC prefixes present on units The relevant lines in my locale.gen are: en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_GB ISO-8859-1 However, this appears to occurs for any utf8 locale. Coreutils 7.5. Other tests fail in a similar manner, eg: % export LANG=en_GB.utf8 % printf "K\nE\nM\nZ\n" | ./sort -h E K M Z % export LANG="en_GB" % printf "K\nE\nM\nZ\n" | ./sort -h K M E Z _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27373> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
