Summary:	Sed ranges are broken in non-C locales

Description Julia Jomantaite 2008-05-30 18:47:52 MSD

When i use sed ranges (like [a-z]) in locales other than "C" uppercase letters
are matched by lowercase ranges.
In "C" locale this problem doesn't appear.

In other linux distributions (tested on Debian, Gentoo, Fedora) lowercase ranges
match only lowercase letters as one would expect. It seems this is because they
configure sed with --without-included-regex, while Alt does not.

Other utilities (like grep and tr) are not affected by this problem.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make sure that locale is not "C" (for example "ru_RU.UTF8")
2.echo abcdABCD | sed -e "s/[a-c]/0/g"
Actual Results:  
000d00CD

Expected Results:  
000dABCD

This problem has been solved in Gentoo (key --without-included-regex is used now).

Anyway sorting order should be the same for all utilities.

The following results are from the same locale:

[altlinux@localhost ~]$ echo abcdABCD | sed -e "s/[a-c]/0/g"
000d00CD
[altlinux@localhost ~]$ echo abcdABCD | grep -o "[a-c]"
a
b
c
[altlinux@localhost ~]$ echo abcdABCD | tr "[a-c]" 0
000dABCD

It can be obtained in both ru_RU.UTF-8 and ru_RU.KOI8-r locales so it's not the
UTF8 issue.
