Package: libc-bin Version: 2.36-9+deb12u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When I run `locale -a` I get output such as: C C.utf8 POSIX en_US.utf8 However, the correct names of the UTF-8 locales are supposed to be hyphenated according to the standard, and uppercase according to convention: C.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 Musl (alpine linux) shows the locales correctly. The canonical UTF-8 is preferable to the utf8 synonym (if it can be called a synonym, utf8 is not defined by IANA). It is especially important that the C.UTF-8 locale contains the hyphen. If you wish to see what the canonical character encoding is for a locale, you can run for any locale `LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 locale charmap` and it will output UTF-8. A lot of additional information can be found here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/605770/is-the-utf8-in-en-us-utf8-a-canonical-character-set/605777#605777 that post explains what glibc is doing and why it is incorrect in doing that. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-10-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libc-bin depends on: ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u1 Versions of packages libc-bin recommends: ii manpages 6.03-2 libc-bin suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
