[GRASS5] [bug #4229] (grass) error in EPSG file

this bug's URL: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=4229
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: error in EPSG file

Platform: GNU/Linux/x86
grass obtained from: Other (CDROM etc)
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: 6.0.1

the proj from EPSG is very useful
in France, I use Lambert II (27572)
but it gives a false longitude
I noticed a general error in the file: "lon_0=-2.33......"

the minus sign is false !
it must be : lon_0=2.33....

so it gives the right longitude
(all the Lambert codes for France must be corrected)

What file, exactly?

In case you mean a file that comes with proj4, please report to proj4
maintainer Frank Warmerdam, eg. uisng proj4 list.

CCing him now.

proj4 is not a part of Grass.

This problem you are reporting here might even be due to an error EPSG
database, not proj4 itself. Check with EPSG online database
http://ocean.csl.co.uk/.

"lon_0=-2.33......"

the minus sign is false !
it must be : lon_0=2.33....
