[Bug libc/22505] New: ldconfig processes include directive in locale-specific order


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22505

            Bug ID: 22505
           Summary: ldconfig processes include directive in
                    locale-specific order
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: aurelien at aurel32 dot net
                CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

ldconfig supports "include" directives and use the glob function to process
them. The glob function sort entries according to the LC_COLLATE category. When
using a standard "include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf" entry in /etc/ld.so.conf,
the order therefore depends on the locale used to run ldconfig.

A few examples of locale specific order that might be disturbing compared to
the C locale:
- The et_EE locale sorts the "z" between "s" and "t".
- The cs_CZ and sk_SK locales sort the digits after the letters.
