Description:
After upgrade mounths in system date is returned in 'roman digits' format. For example:

"[virhilo@vector ~]$ date
Pt, 15 VI 2007, 09:30:58 CEST"

my timezone is Polish(locale pl_PL.UTF-8)

Additional info:
glibc 2.6-2

Steps to reproduce:
It will be better if it returns date(mounths) in the same format as before(arabic digits).
This task depends upon

I guess mainstream data for Polish locale was changed. It would be nice if you search on Polish forums for similar reports - maybe there is a patch already.

On the other hand - we don't know what date representation is standard in Poland.

This is for uk_UA:
[rk@server ~]$ date
субота, 16 червня 2007 11:19:58 +0300

[rk@server ~]$ LANG=C date
Sat Jun 16 11:19:51 EEST 2007

So maybe Pt, 15 VI 2007, 09:30:58 CEST is really standard in Poland?
Or should it definetely be Pt, 15 6 2007, 09:30:58 CEST ?

This is for example correct date representation in Poland: "So, 16 cze 2007, 23:10:25 CEST". Here is the the path from polish Fedora forum, but I not tested it yet: http://ecik.nonlogic.org/patche/pl_PL-miesiace.patch

so a was wrong when I was writing a distription-*not* arabic digits but *first 3 letters* as you can see in example above:)

The best solution I think is restoration previous(date) format(up to glibc-2.5), here is the patches which make it:
http://83.18.69.154/~virhilo/pl_PL-miesiace.patch
http://83.18.69.154/~virhilo/pl_PL-dni.patch
I modified the PKHBUILD to use this patches, I include it to comment.
