# E-scripts on locales
#
# Note 1: use the eev command (defined in eev.el) and the
# ee alias (in my .zshrc) to execute parts of this file.
# Executing this file as a whole makes no sense.
# An introduction to eev can be found here:
#
#   (find-eev-quick-intro)
#   http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-eev-quick-intro.html
#
# Note 2: be VERY careful and make sure you understand what
# you're doing.
#
# Note 3: If you use a shell other than zsh things like |&
# and the for loops may not work.
#
# Note 4: I always run as root.
#
# Note 5: some parts are too old and don't work anymore. Some
# never worked.
#
# Note 6: the definitions for the find-xxxfile commands are on my
# .emacs.
#
# Note 7: if you see a strange command check my .zshrc -- it may
# be defined there as a function or an alias.
#
# Note 8: the sections without dates are always older than the
# sections with dates.

# (find-node "(libc)Collation Functions")
# (find-node "(libc)Effects of Locale")

  LANG=C     -> sort uses asciibetical order
  LANG=en_US -> sort uses an evil (lexicographical?) order -
                It orders the things above as "e/c eev e/l .em e/r e/x".

dpkg-reconfigure base-config
# Ouch:
# /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: base-config is broken or not fully installed

<sm> I didn't find it in the changelog, but for the record:
     `LC_COLLATE=C sort` is needed to ensure a case-sensitive sort
