On a stock Redhat 6.2 machine I see that file is part of the
glibc-2.1.3-15 package. Which probably means that an upgrade of glibc
should solve the problem.
rpm -qf /usr/share/locale/en_GB/LC_COLLATE
glibc-2.1.3-15
rpm -qi glibc
[...deleted a lot of information...]
The glibc package also contains national language (locale) support
and timezone databases.
Note that I could not recreate your problem with your test case on the
version installed on this machine. So perhaps this version I list is
already a corrected version?
