Re: Man pages in unstable don't display right--third try

[Curt Daugaard <box8s@sbcglobal.net>]

I had originally set locale to utf8 but have since reverted to 
en_US.ISO-8859-1 (via 'dpkg-reconfigure locales').  The man pages are 
still screwed up.  Is there some further step I need to take?

I tried searching Debian mailing list archives but couldn't find the 
posts you mention.

Thanks.
