Given Ondřej's input, I am tending to close this bug invalid. Paolo,
have you tried it?

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: coreutils
  
  I'm sorting this file:
  
- $ cat prova.sort 
+ $ cat prova.sort
  A somethin
  AAAA something
  AAAAAA something
  something else
  
  I see that sort acts differently with my locale (it_IT.UTF8) and C, but
  in an unexpected manner:
  
  $ cat prova.sort |sort
  AAAAAA something
  AAAA something
  A somethin
  something else
  
- 
  $ cat prova.sort |LC_ALL=C sort
  A somethin
  AAAA something
  AAAAAA something
  something else
  
+ Actually the space should have the same sorting in the 2 locales. It
+ seems a bug
  
- Actually the space should have the same sorting in the 2 locales. It seems a 
bug
+ WORKAROUND: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html
+ #Sort-does-not-sort-in-normal-order_0021
+ 
+ This is most probably not a bug (but the locale itself may be wrong). It
+ is not a bug on 'sort'.
