Re: Hello and a a possible bug in i18n

["Leonardo Fontenelle" <leo fontenelle gmail com>]

The locale data is part of glibc. In their FAQ, they say "If the glibc
you are using comes from a complete operating system distribution, you
should report bugs to that distribution project first." However, there
is already a report in glibc's bugzilla similar to yours:
http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2692 . You could
post a comment there, saying the same applies to Spain.
