Hi Brice, Thank you for contacting me, even after 6 years or so :-) I have a similar bug report [0] which was taken over and solved by Eddy Petrișor <eddy.petrisor at gmail.com>. In the mean time the ro_RO migrated to UTF-8 [1] and the changes propagated into glibc[2] in Sid. You may close the bug [3] or merge it with the others [0] [4]. You can change ISO-8859-2 with UTF-8 (without going through ISO-8859-16). But also please remove the "rumanian" word... Best regards, Ionel P.S. For Eddy, did you made changes to the config files when migrating ro_RO to UTF-8?
