I now see that `apt-file show glibc-doc` shows several more pages.

Right. I only installed the experimental one to see if the bug had been fixed (as reportbug(1) suggested trying it). > > Please, remove from glibc-doc those manual pages that conflict with > > manpages-dev. > > Noted.

Hmm, maybe you can drop the manual pages, but not upload yet, and wait for that bug to be fixed to do an upload without the pages. Have a lovely day! Alex -- <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
