 How can I get all english man pages?

I get the same problem after one of my squeeze upgrades, and tried 
several days solving it, but none works. 

But now I don't have such problem any more. I think the problem disappear 
after I reboot.

Man pages show non-english characters

2010-02-19 Thread Harry Putnam
on a recently upgrade to squeeze and still working the upgrade I
notice my man pages have a scattering of non-englsh char scattered
through them, that in places makes it difficult to read.

Here is a good example from `man aptitude' at the `search' option:

search

   Searches for packages matching one of the patterns supplied
   on the command line. All packages which match any of the
   given patterns will be displayed; for instance, âaptitude
   search ´~N´ editâ

Not sure how it will come out in mail but I see enough accents and
such around the pattern as to make it non-readable.

I think this was how it was before the upgrade too.  

Have I done something with locales or the like that is causing this?
Or maybe an env setting?

How can I get all english man pages?
