            Bug ID: 17297
           Summary: Wrong date_fmt n Danish locale
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.19
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: eyolf at oestrem dot com
                CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org

The Danish locale defintion file at  localedata / locales / da_DK has the
following date string definitions:

d_t_fmt="%a %d %b %Y %T %Z"
date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y"

or in unicodese:

209 date_fmt "<U0025><U0061><U0020><U0025><U0062><U0020><U0025><U0065>/
210 <U0020><U0025><U0048><U003A><U0025><U004D><U003A><U0025><U0053><U0020>/
211 <U0025><U005A><U0020><U0025><U0059>"

The first is correct, but the second has the date in an order that one would
never use in Denmark. Correct would be to let %b and %e change places. So:

date_fmt="%a %e %b %H:%M:%S %Z %Y"

or 

209 date_fmt        "<U0025><U0061><U0020><U0025><U0065><U0020><U0025><U0062>/
210 <U0020><U0025><U0048><U003A><U0025><U004D><U003A><U0025><U0053><U0020>/
211 <U0025><U005A><U0020><U0025><U0059>"

Also, the email address of the person who is indicated in the beginning of the
file does not work.
