Bugzilla – Bug 116354
Package "yast-transfers" is on an uncommon place in the ABC [KDE; Hungarian].
Last modified: 2005-09-15 10:05:58 UTC
Everything is on the shot I attached; the packages are sorted after their names, yast-transfers should be before or rather _after_ the yast-trans-* packages, but surely not in the middle...
Created attachment 49525 [details] Screenshot.
The maintainer should decide... reassigned.
Seems to be a Qt problem of the packagemanager. Sorting might be ignoring hyphens in strings. --- cut --- trans-es transfer (trans-fer) trans-fi --- cut ---
The bug description does not contain any useful information, so if the subject gets changed, this bug will be confusing for everybody. For future bugs, please read this: http://www.suse.de/~sh/Bugreporting-faq/index.html#bugzilla_see_subject
It's an alpha sort according to the current locale. In some locales, special characters like a dash change the sorting order, in some they do not. If the dash does not have any influence (as seems to be the case here), "yast2-transfer" indeed will be sorted in the middle of some "yast2-trans-*" packages. IMHO that name "yast2-transfer" was an unlucky choice.
Dear #4! In case you would have an improved and more descriptive idea for the above subj., please change it accordingly! (Anyway, one would stay in contact with _very_ few people, e.g. while ignoring empty/dummy subjects...) Independently how this bug is tagged, the feature is still present & confirmed; being picky just simply doesn't solve this. You probably know, that it's general, and "yast2-transfers" is not the only package like that; at least on the Hungarian locale.
Werner: Aplhabetical sorting in Hungaryan language probably ignores hyphens. You're the assignee of the Base-system. Please, what do you think of it? Is is a correct behavior, just a feature or a bug? Could it be fixed/enhanced not to ignore that character? Thanks
The sorting is given with LC_COLLATE=hu_HU ... if this sorting results in the image of attachment id=49525 then this is correct.
