---------------
ubiquity (2.7.25) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces should be an int, not a boolean.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: flash-kernel 2.28ubuntu29.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Don't try to connect signals on the release notes label in the oem-
    config version of the language page, as it doesn't exist there.
  * Construct a GtkTreeCellDataFunc with the correct number of arguments
    in the migration assistant plugin (LP: #829987).
  * Don't let the text wrap for the language names in oem-config.

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * Properly sort the keyboard list (LP: #770320)

Title:
  Sorting non-English list: French installer sorts accented names at end
  of alphabet

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Installing the natty release candidate (2011-04-25) from the live CD
  in French shows the list of countries during the keyboard selection.
  However, Éthiopie is listed at the end of the alphabet, presumably
  because of the accented E at the beginning of the name. This was
  probably not noticed as a bug before, because French often drops the
  accent on capital letters, but this seems to show that the sorting is
  not ignoring the accents, as it should (at least for French).
