[jfs@dat.etsit.upm.es: Man is not able to look for translated manpages (was Re: user-es_0.7_i386.changes REJECTED)]
Aquí os envío el informe de bug que he enviado. Esto,
lamentablemente, puede que afecte a que Debian 2.2 salga un pelín más tarde
:(
Así que si alguien tiene tiempo y ganas que se baje las fuentes de
man para ver mandar un patch rápidamente.

PD: ahora que me doy cuenta he cometido muchas erratas por escribirlo muy
rápido (eso me pasar por no releer mis mensajes :(

Package: man
Version: 2.3.14
Priority: important
Then we have a *grave* bug in man which should be reported. Man
does not take any translated manpages that are placed under /usr/man/XX
(being XX any language, be it 'es' or ' if you upgrade
from potato to frozen.
My manpath.config file (what package provides this? dpkg -S turns
out nothing) is adjointed.
I have investigated the problem some what and it seems that man
does not offer translations if they are not first in the 'MANPATH'
variable. This strangely behavior happens to *some* manpages and not all
of them..
Take this example: (my notes are in [])
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[LANG and LC_MESSAGES are set to 'es_ES']
$ manpath
/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/man
[taken from the /etc/manpath.config provided in Debian]
$ ls -la /usr/man/es/man1/write.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2231 abr 12 1999 /usr/man/es/man1/write.1.gz
[so the file's there all right]
$ man write
[!!!shown in English!!]
$ export MANPATH=/usr/man
$ man write
Dando formato a write(1), aguarde por favor...
[!!!shown in Spanish!!!]
$ export MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/share/man
$ man write
Dando formato a write(1), aguarde por favor...
[!!shown in Spanish!!!]
$ export MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/man
$ man write
[!!shown in ENGLISH!!]
[all right is seems precedence of /usr/share is not the problem]
$ export MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/man
$ man write
[!!shown in ENGLISH!!]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Using man -d it seems to me that man searches for in
/usr/share/man/es but finds nothing, looks in /usr/share and finds a page
and thus, stops searching for nothing under /usr/man/es.
Thus, *unless* the first directory in MANPATH is the one with the
translated manpages man will never find any translated manpage, thus, if
you have translated manpages in /usr/share/man and in /usr/man there is no
possible way 'man' can find translated pages in both directories.
The debugging part of man is also attached.
Best regards (and sorry to list this as importan, but it is for
those that depend on non-english documentation being available)
