To understand what that means in practice, here an example.
The following source:
d_fmt "%d/%m/%Y %% // /% %/ \% \/ \\"
produces this:
[root@taka /]# LC_ALL=tpi_PG.UTF-8 locale -k d_fmt
d_fmt="%d%m%Y %% / % % \% \ \\"
I.e. the current source for tpi_PG has an error in d_fmt,
instead of
"%d/%m/%Y"
it should be
"%d//%m//%Y"
