Subject: df: misaligned table header depending on the locale

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

I use df on a daily basis under Ubuntu 11.10 (GNU/Linux
3.0.0-19-generic-pae i686). My df version is df (GNU coreutils) 8.5.

When I use it in a French locale, the table header is badly aligned whereas
with the English one, the alignment is correct:

$ export LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF8
$ df
Sys. de fichiers            Taille  Uti. Disp. Uti% Monté sur
/dev/sda5             268G  181G   73G  72% /
udev                  1,9G  4,0K  1,9G   1% /dev
tmpfs                 775M  1,1M  774M   1% /run
none                  5,0M     0  5,0M   0% /run/lock
none                  1,9G  1,1M  1,9G   1% /run/shm


$ export LC_ALL=en_GB.utf8 # Works with other locales like POSIX, C.UTF-8,
and so on.
$ df
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5             268G  181G   73G  72% /
udev                  1.9G  4.0K  1.9G   1% /dev
tmpfs                 775M  1.1M  774M   1% /run
none                  5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
none                  1.9G  1.1M  1.9G   1% /run/shm

It can be annoying to read with larger fstabs, especially with 1-K blocks:

Sys. de fichiers           1K-blocs   Utilisé    Dispo. Uti% Monté sur
/dev/sda1             28834716   8161920  19208072  30% /

/dev/sdb1              1993812   1683556    310256  85% /media/disk-2

Do other non-English locales suffer from the same misalignment?

Thanks,

Vincent Ramos

Thank you for the report.

However, 8.5 is getting rather old.
The latest is 8.16, and that bug has been fixed since 8.11.

OK, thanks. I see that the future package in Ubuntu will be 8.13, so it
should be corrected.
