Package: debian-goodies
Version: 0.76
Severity: normal

Dman's manual page claims that "It will fallback to the default
manpage if the translated version is not found.", but this is not
actually implemented in the script itself.

This is easy to test by setting the environment (LANG) to any language
and then try to download a manual page that does not have any
translation and is only available in English (e.g. clips,
https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/clips/clips.1.en.html). If doing
this, dman will claim that it did not found the manual page.

I have commited a patch to GIT that should fix this bug, by trying
first downloading a localised manpage and, in case of failure,
attempting the download of the English version.

Best regards


Javier
