Package: iso-codes Version: n/a
There are several additional bugs in http://git.debian.org/?p=iso-codes/iso-codes.git;a=blob_plain;f=iso_3166_2/iso_3166_2.xml;hb=HEAD. 1. Duplicate ES-IB. Balears should be ES-PM. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:ES 2. Duplicate LY-JA. Al Jabal al Gharbī should be LY-JG. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:LY 3. Duplicate MA-TIZ. Tiznit is only a province and not a prefecture. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:MA 4. Duplicate MA-ZAG. Zagora is only a province and not a prefecture. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:MA 5. Duplicate OM-MU. Z̧ufār should be OM-ZU. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:OM 6. Duplicate PE-CAL. Municipalidad Metropolitana de Lima should be PE-LMA. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:PE Possible bugs relating to incorrect source data from ISO. Their website <http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/background_on_iso_3166/iso_3166-2.htm> states “Note that the characters after the separator are only unique within the subdivision list of one particular country. They can be (and have been) reused in the list of subdivision names of other countries e. g. ID-RI (Riau province of Indonesia) and NG-RI (Rivers province in Nigeria). So only a complete code element i. e. with the alpha-2 country code in front guarantees uniqueness.” I’m going to contact them about the following issues below. 1. Duplicate CV-SL. São Lourenço dos Órgãos was recently added, so maybe the ISO made a mistake. Sources: http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_3166-2_newsletter_ii-2_2010-06-30.pdf, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:CV 2. Duplicate ID-MA. I don’t see any recent changes, but this seems to go against ISO’s rules stated above. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:ID 3. Duplicate IE-C. Same issue as above. Wikipedia entry does have a footnote about the duplicate code. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:IE Rand Dusing
