Subject: | Currency symbol (RUB) changed in Debian/stretch |
My Debian/stretch smoker shows the following failure not seen on other systems:
...
# Failed test 'Currency symbol decoded correctly'
# at t/009_localeconv_encoding.t line 39.
# '₽'
# doesn't match '(?^u:руб)'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 2.
# Failed test 'ru_RU.UTF-8'
# at t/009_localeconv_encoding.t line 44.
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 12.
t/009_localeconv_encoding.t ..
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/12 subtests
(less 10 skipped subtests: 1 okay)
...
It seems that Debian is now using a dedicated Unicode sign <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruble_sign> instead of the cyrillic "rub".
