Helmut might have meant that "man stat" show the wrong man page, namely that of the stat(1) shell command. "man 3 stat" works, but refers to the more complete man page fstatat(3p), which is still a different man page than stat(2) (which is what "man lstat" will give you). Besides which, I switched to man-db a while ago, in February 2013, with zero problems. My main motivation was that sys-apps/man had some minor formatting bugs that have been unresolved for years, and I also wanted to switch to something that was maintained. And no, man pages are not always in English (although personally I tend to prefer the original English man pages to the German translations). -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup
