Upstream CVS isn't always releasable immediately. I know I've dealt with #168442/#177539 in upstream CVS, for instance. However, that repository also happens to contain random other stuff which hasn't stabilized yet, and I don't think trying to backport a complete reorganization of how man handles locale encodings is a terribly stable thing to do. Thus, I want to express the fact that I've dealt with the bug for the sake of my own organization without necessarily promising to upload Real Soon Now. (Certainly I should do more work to get man-db 2.4.2 out, but to some extent that's a different matter.) Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
