Norwegian week starts on Monday, not on Sunday

[Håvard H. Garnes]

I dist-upgraded to breezy today, 23.Sept 2005

Gnome-calendar (at least the tray-applett) shows the week starting on sunday as
default in the norwegian locales nn_NO, nb_NO and no_NO.

FIX: Edit the nb_NO, nn_NO and no_NO to inclde the statements

first_weekday 2
first_workday 2

just after the LC_TIME-flag in the locales. Then run

locale-gen and reboot.

hhg@evo:/usr/share/i18n/locales$ egrep -B2 -A2 -n week no_NO
2154-
2155-LC_TIME
2156:first_weekday 2
2157-first_workday 2
2158-abday "<U0073><U00F8><U006E>";"<U006D><U0061><U006E>";/
hhg@evo:/usr/share/i18n/locales$

Can this please be fixed before the final version comes out?

same problem with israeli locale : the week should start on sunday, rather than
monday

[Elliot Foster (elliotf-deactivatedaccount)]

I have a similar problem with en_US, but the week begins with Monday, rather
than Sunday.

I've retitled this bug to be specific to the Norway date issues. Please file separate bugs for different countries.

that said, we've recently updated the locales packages. Can you tell me if this problem still occurs with current dapper?

Tks,
Jeff Bailey

Tollef sais that it's happy on his box, marking as fixed.

[Bjørn Sandåker (prognatus)]

This bug (or missing feature) is still present in Intrepid.
Gnome editor doesn't seem to have a setting for it either.

Here's a temporary fix for those who uses US english locale and want another day as start of week:

The "temporary fix" referenced above doesn't work and causes issues.
