Dear Maintainer,

like in Debian Bug #982059 "manpages-de,psmisc: File conflict between psmisc 
and manpages-de: '/usr/share/man/de/man1/fuser.1.gz"
there exists file conflicts between manpages-de and procps package.

I have installed manpages-de package version 4.9.1-1 offered in tarball from 
Helge Kreutzmann (see [2]) who is preparing a version 4.9.1-2 on <salsa.d.o>.

On d-u I see:

root# RELEASE="buildd-unstable" ; LC_ALL=C apt-get dist-upgrade -V -t $RELEASE

...
The following packages will be REMOVED:
   manpages-de (4.9.1-1)
   task-german (3.63)
The following packages will be upgraded:
   apt (2.1.18 => 2.1.19)
   apt-utils (2.1.18 => 2.1.19)
   firmware-amd-graphics (20201218-3 => 20210208-1)
   firmware-iwlwifi (20201218-3 => 20210208-1)
   firmware-linux (20201218-3 => 20210208-1)
   firmware-linux-nonfree (20201218-3 => 20210208-1)
   firmware-misc-nonfree (20201218-3 => 20210208-1)
   firmware-realtek (20201218-3 => 20210208-1)
   libapt-pkg6.0 (2.1.18 => 2.1.19)
   libmaven-resolver-java (1.4.2-1 => 1.4.2-2)
   libmaven3-core-java (3.6.3-3 => 3.6.3-4)
   libplexus-cipher-java (1.7-3 => 1.8-1)
   libprocps8 (2:3.3.16-5 => 2:3.3.17-1)
   libselinux1 (3.1-2+b2 => 3.1-3)
   libselinux1-dev (3.1-2+b2 => 3.1-3)
   procps (2:3.3.16-5 => 2:3.3.17-1)

As you can see manpages-de and task-german packages will be REMOVED.

The manpages-l10n package will need some Breaks/Replaces like in [3].

People will hit the problem when procps enters Debian/unstable (I have 
buildd-unstable in my APT sources.list).

I dunno how to CC: manpages maintainers via reportbug.
Please feel free to do so.
Increase the level of Severity if needed (the above mentioned BR has "serious).

As a temporary workaround I did:

root# packages="procps libprocps8" ; for p in $packages ; do echo "$p" "hold" | 
dpkg --set-selections ; done

root# dpkg --get-selections | grep hold | column -t
libprocps8:amd64  hold
procps            hold

Thanks.

Regards,
