Confirmed with current bzr trunk. I think that add_nls_manpath is at fault; each time it tries to add the English/C locales it finds that they're already in the manpath, and then when it adds the German locale it puts it at the front. It could be a lot smarter here. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
