>Description:
I've noticed 2 wrong entries in /usr/share/misc/iso3166 file :
- The entry with FX alpha-2 country code was not published in
ISO 3166-1 1997 edition. I've asked the Secretariat of the ISO 3166
Maintenance Agency for confirmation, here is theyre answer :
The reason for this removal was that no use for FX was documented
and it was apparent that this code element which was introduced into
ISO 3166-1 at the wish of the French standards organization and of
French statistics experts was not needed.
- The numeric code of Palestine is 275 and the official name is
"Occupied Palestinian Territory" (according Newsletter V-2)

>How-To-Repeat:
cat /usr/share/misc/iso3166
>Fix:
remove the following entry in /usr/share/misc/iso3166
FX FXX 249 France, Metropolitan
change the entry
PS PSE 999 Palestine
by
PS PSE 275 Occupied Palestinian Territory
