I have just committed a patch in our stable branch to fix that. It will therefore be fixed in the next upload to wheezy if the stable release manager are fine with the fix. We won't do an upload only for that, but as soon as we have more fixes, we will upload it. > AFAICT with locales-all 2.17-97 it seems to be "fine"[1]: > > mika@heart ~ % LC_ALL=de_AT date +%B > Februar > mika@heart ~ % LC_ALL=de_DE date +%B > Februar > > [1] Though I consider it broken that de_AT says "Februar" instead of > "Feber", see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feber This is the opposite opinion from bug#661760, which says that Feber is incorrect. I do not want to flip flop regularly between the two versions. Is there any "official" source showing that Feber or Februar should be used? -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B [email protected] http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
