When reading the sources I get the feeling that some bugs are back:
#211733: typo in manpages/iconv.1
#211984: typo in manpages/rpcgen.1
#210301: locale-gen calls "unset POSIXLY_CORRECT" unconditionnally.
About this one, I believe that test -n "${POSIXLY_CORRECT+set}"
is a better fix, unless we know exactly what to do if
POSIXLY_CORRECT is set to an empty value (this change is not
included in the attached patch).
