Hmm. I'm curious here. As to why man-pages..rpm installs
manpages in every language known to man?

That is 6 *megabytes* of wasted disk space on my system that I
will never use. Uggh.
So... Obviously this is not a good way of installing man
pages. Rather than go to bugzilla about this, I'll volunteer to
personally fix the problem...
1) Is the problem allready fixed? Does rawhide or pinstripe/7.0
break the manpages out into different packages such as:
man-pages-ru
man-pages-fr
etc..
2) If it does not, I will go download the manpages src.rpm and
repackage it to do so. I don't want to duplicate effort
though so if someone has done this either at Red Hat already,
or elsewhere, please let me know. I'm downloading the src.rpm
right now to prepare assuming that it hasn't been done. It's
good practice anyways so...
Take care,
TTYL
