I am not saying that we should shift to use .utf8. I am saying that when the locale ends up as .utf8 for one reason or another, applications must not break.
This does not have to be an either/or thing! The primary name for the locales are still generally .UTF-8 and should remain that way. But locale aliases exist and it's only a small number of buggy applications that fail to cope with them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/666565 Title: "utf8" charmap in locale name is wrong -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
