This bug was fixed in the package rust-coreutils - 0.6.0-0ubuntu1
---------------
rust-coreutils (0.6.0-0ubuntu1) resolute; urgency=medium
* New usptream version (LP: #2139697)
* Fixes:
- comm does not work as expected with process substitution (LP: #2138315)
- git: FTBFS in Resolute (LP: #2138217)
- tee with multiple --append fails in rust corutils (LP: #2134578)
- echo 1 | sort | head -n0: sort: write failed: 'standard output':
Broken pipe (LP: #2133156)
- env: Rust unwrap with UTF-8 symbols in environment variables
(LP: #2132941)
- "du" is double-counting hard links when multiple arguments specified
(LP: #2132245)
- dd: O_DIRECT partial block writes fail (LP: #2132150)
- date does not support localized output (LP: #2130859)
- SSH sessions blocked on unavailable automounts by default in Ubuntu 25.10
(LP: #2130843)
- rust-coreutils 'shred' refuses to write to a device (LP: #2130396)
- rust-coreutils stats handling breaks wireguard's wg-quick (LP: #2127851)
- rust-coreutils:dd: Broken pipe (LP: #2125943)
- /usr/bin/sort: -k option does not behave as GNU's sort (LP: #2125504)
- uutils wc crashed with SIGABRT on logout (LP: #2122166)
- who, pinky are empty - need to talk to logind (LP: #2117771)
* Drop applied patches:
- use-mem-zeroed.diff: The timespec C-binding struct has been replaced
by the safe abstraction nix::sys::time::TimeSpec. Padding should now
be handled internally for 32-bit architectures.
* Refresh patches:
- Tweak-release-build-profile.patch
- build-stty.patch
- dd-ensure-full-writes.patch
- fix-prefix.diff
- glibc-2.42.patch
- require-utilities-to-be-invoked-using-matching-path.patch
- use-l10n-translations-in-makefile.patch
- workspace-exclude.patch
* Add patch:
- prevent-stty-termios2-on-ppc64el.patch: The termios2 header is not
always available or exposed on ppc64el systems. Use the standard termios
interface instead to avoid build failures on such systems.
* Skip failing tests:
(s390x)
- test_env::test_simulation_of_terminal_for_stdout_only
- test_nohup::test_nohup_stderr_to_stdout
- test_nohup::test_nohup_with_pseudo_terminal_emulation_on_stdin_stdout_stderr_get_replaced
- test_touch::test_touch_changes_time_of_file_in_stdout
(amd64v3)
- test_dd::test_stdin_stdout_skip_w_multiplier
* Re-enable previously failing tests:
- test_chown::test_chown_only_group_id_nonexistent_group
- test_chown::test_chown_only_user_id_nonexistent_user
- test_expr::test_long_input
- test_factor::test_parallel
- test_install::test_install_and_strip
- test_install::test_install_and_strip_with_program
- test_ls::test_device_number

Title:
date does not support localized output

Fix Committed
Status in coreutils-from package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Status in rust-coreutils package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Hello Ubuntu,
On the new Ubuntu 25.10, the "date" command fails to print locale
names:
LC_TIME=tr_TR.UTF-8 date +%B
prints:
November
instead of:
Kasım,
This command was OK on Ubuntu 24 (used inside a script to Grep month
names from a CSV file written in Türkish.
This command fails with the Rust version of coreuils.
Note however that the "locale" config is correct as the following command works as expected:
locale -k LC_TIME
shows the good locale name
...
mon="Ocak;Şubat;Mart;Nisan;Mayıs;Haziran;Temmuz;Ağustos;Eylül;Ekim;Kasım;Aralık"
...
Do I need to switch back to the old C based coreutils package?
Thanks to give a solution...
There is no emergency however as I have added the English month names
in my CSV file... so my command works again... Just tried to inform
you about this behavior that seems to not be documented on Internet, I
googled for a valid answer, found nothing.
Thanks to give a solution. Also, some apps like Shotcut, Gimp crashes
on Wayland (but works on X11 reinstalled automatically by the Budgie
Desktop). The latest Shotcut as an Appimage seems to work on Wayland,
but I want a real App installed normally withou Snap or Flatpak or
Appimage.
