Bug#352670: update-grub locale problem

[Meelis Roos]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-4
Severity: normal


update-grub fails when locale is my systems default: et_EE.ISO-8859-15.
When I run update-grub with LANG=C, it works OK. With my locale, it gets
this output:

Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst
sed: -e avaldis #1, sümbol 45: Invalid range end
sed: -e avaldis #1, sümbol 186: Invalid range end

(avaldis means expression and sümbol is symbol).

This might be befause of [a-z] style ordering problems instead of
character classes. In Estonian alphabet, "z" is foreign sound and it comes
after "s" in alphabet and collating order (...sz...) so "tuvwxy" are left
out of the range.

There may be other problems too of course.
