From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701 Description of problem: To determine the language of a man page to show, man should refer to LC_ALL,LC_MESSAGES and LANG in turn. However, currently, it ignores LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES but always refers to LANG. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-1.5k-6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.set LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 and LANG to fr_FR.UTF-8 2.try 'man command' 3. Actual Results: French man page is displayed Expected Results: English man page is expected. Additional info: POSIX /Single Unix Spec is very clear that LANG has the lowest precedence when determining the locale while LC_ALL has the highest with LC_* (other than ALL) taking the place between LANG and LC_ALL. 'man' should follow that. I may have reported this to the upstream maintainer(or may not have).
