Description Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-06-01 10:45:57 EDT

We've found a relatively odd problem; since there's a difference between 
the de and de_DE locale, we think it's a glibc issue.

On a rawhide system, install man-pages-de and run

LANG=de man man

in an rxvt or similar terminal -> incomplete output

LANG=de_DE man man

works

LANG=de man man

in text mode works

Comment 1 Ulrich Drepper 2004-09-30 06:44:49 EDT

I'm closing this.  It has defnitely been a problem with the encoding
of the man pages in the first place.  The man pages are nowadays
supposed to be encoded in a certain way and the man program can handle
this.  No need to look at what that old, outdated code did.
