Description of problem: French man-pages included in net-tools package are in fact in German Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): <=net-tools-1.60-37.EL4.8 How reproducible: static Steps to Reproduce: 1.LANG=fr man arp 2.that's german (Handbuch für Linuxprogrammierer) Actual results: man-pages are in German, but they are supposed to be in French (files are in /usr/share/man/fr) Expected results: man-pages should be in French Additional info: The problem is located in the .spec of the net-tools packages at lines 135 and above: #german iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 -o arp.tmp man/de_DE/arp.8 && mv arp.tmp man/fr_FR/arp.8 iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 -o ethers.tmp man/de_DE/ethers.5 && mv ethers.tmp man/fr_FR/ethers.5 iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 -o hostname.tmp man/de_DE/hostname.1 && mv hostname.tmp man/fr_FR/hostname.1 iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 -o ifconfig.tmp man/de_DE/ifconfig.8 && mv ifconfig.tmp man/fr_FR/ifconfig.8 iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 -o netstat.tmp man/de_DE/netstat.8 && mv netstat.tmp man/fr_FR/netstat.8 iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 -o plipconfig.tmp man/de_DE/plipconfig.8 && mv plipconfig.tmp man/fr_FR/plipconfig.8 iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 -o rarp.tmp man/de_DE/rarp.8 && mv rarp.tmp man/fr_FR/rarp.8 iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 -o route.tmp man/de_DE/route.8 && mv route.tmp man/fr_FR/route.8 iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 -o slattach.tmp man/de_DE/slattach.8 && mv slattach.tmp man/fr_FR/slattach.8 as you can see, german pages are iconverted and then moved in the wrong path, overwritting french manpages. Remplacing in this section fr_FR by de_DE works
I already had this problem before, that was supposed to be fixed (bug #172434)
Will be out with 4.5 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 165701 ***
