[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 897782] Re: System.Globalization.RegionInfo missing ThreeLetterISORegionName, ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName, and CurrencySymbol

[John Church]

Tested this with Precise Pangolin and the problem persists. Out of
curiosity I ran the same code on Windows XP with MS .NET 3.5 and got the
following output:

   Name:                         GB
   DisplayName:                  United Kingdom
   EnglishName:                  United Kingdom
   IsMetric:                     True
   ThreeLetterISORegionName:     GBR
   ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName: GBR
   TwoLetterISORegionName:       GB
   CurrencySymbol:               £
   ISOCurrencySymbol:            GBP

** Changed in: mono (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

Title:
  System.Globalization.RegionInfo missing ThreeLetterISORegionName,
  ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName, and CurrencySymbol

Status in “mono” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Compiling and running the code attached (e.g. "mcs
  CurrencySymbolFail.cs") produces:

     Name:                         GB
     DisplayName:                  United Kingdom
     EnglishName:                  United Kingdom
     IsMetric:                     True
     ThreeLetterISORegionName:     
     ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName: 
     TwoLetterISORegionName:       GB
     CurrencySymbol:               
     ISOCurrencySymbol:            GBP

  Note that some fields are empty, including CurrencySymbol which I
  expected to be "£". There is a (very old) discussion on the Novell bug
  tracker which describes a similar issue:

  I do not have any experience building Mono packaging, but here is the
  output of my setup:
