>Description:
In Latin 9 (aka ISO 8859-15), code position 0xbe is the uppercase Y
diaeresis letter. The corresponding lower case letter is found in
position 0xff like in Latin 1 (ISO 8859-1).

However, the abovementioned version of the ISO 8859-15 locale incorrectly
does not name code position 0xbe in the category UPPER.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
Set the locale LC_CTYPE=de_DE.ISO8859-15 and start the vi editor; now,
enter a lower case y diaeresis and use the `~' editor command to get the
uppercase letter. The display will be `\xbe' because the editor does
not realize that the character is an upper case character.
>Fix:
	
Apply the diff below to en_UE.DIS_8859-15.src and install new locales.
Repeat the above steps. After that, you see the uppercase Y diaeresis,
provided you are using ISO 8859-15 display fonts.
