• Bug#266043: gawk treats all characters as lowercase on UTF-8 locales

    From Toby Neumann@1:229/2 to All on Mon Aug 16 15:10:12 2004

    Package: gawk
    Version: 3.1.4-1

    When I let gawk process an input file, it treats upper case letters as
    lower case letters. This seems to occurs only in various UTF-8 locales.
    I have tested it with nb_NO.UTF-8, en_GB.UTF-8, de_DE.UTF-8,
    fr_FR.UTF-8.
    When I'm using a non UTF-8 locale as no_NO or de_DE, gawk works fine.
    Version 3.1.3-3 was the previously installed one and worked propperly.

    transcript:

    $ awk -f command.awk input.txt
    a - lower case
    A - lower case


    Please find command.awk and input.txt in the attached file example.tgz.

    Perhaps this problem ist related to bug report #264829

    I am using Debian GNU/Linux unstable, kernel 2.4.26-1-386,
    locale de_DE.UTF-8
