Description Martin Schröder 2011-11-19 19:37:17 UTC

The german man page for whatis does not describe the current version of whatis. Compare this:

- With LANG=C:
FILES
       /usr/share/man/index.(bt|db|dir|pag)
              A traditional global index database cache.

       /var/cache/man/index.(bt|db|dir|pag)
              An FHS compliant global index database cache.

       /usr/share/man/.../whatis
              A traditional whatis text database.
- With LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
DATEIEN
       /var/catman/.../index.(bt|db|dir|pag)
              Die FSSTND complianten globalen Indexdatenbanken.

       /usr/man/.../whatis
              Traditionelle whatis Datenbank.

There seems to be no option to uninstall the german man pages, so either they MUST be kept up to date OR removed. Keeping out of date man pages is BAD.
