Package: man-db
Version: 2.10.2-3
Severity: important
Tags: l10n
X-Debbugs-Cc: Mario Blättermann <mario.blaetterm...@gmail.com>, "Dr. Tobias
Quathamer" <to...@debian.org>
Hello Colin,
I'm the Debian maintainer of manpages-l10n, I put my co-maintainer and
manpages-l10n upstream in CC.
I observed the following unexpected behaviour:
Some man pages can be called under various names. Take, for example,
nss-mymachines and libnss_mymachines.so.2. In the file system, there
is only nss-mymachines.8.gz, but if I install manpages-de (this is
assumed for the rest of this bug report) I can issue
man nss-mymachines
and
man libnss_mymachines.so.2.
to read the German man page.
I do not have the English version installed currently, thus, as
expected,
LC_ALL=C man nss-mymachines
does not find anything.
This is the part that works (as expected).
Now let's take a different example, namely systemd-importd.service
and systemd-importd.
Again manpages-de ships only one file, i.e.
/usr/share/man/de/man8/systemd-importd.service.8.gz
With
man systemd-importd.service
I'm able to read the German version, however, with
man systemd-importd
I get the english version (which exists on my system, different from
the previous example).
If I manually enter (as root)
ln -s /usr/share/man/de/man8/systemd-importd.service.8.gz
/usr/share/man/de/man8/systemd-importd.8.gz
then it works as intended, i.e. I get the German page in both cases.
For information:
helge@twentytwo:/usr/share/man/de/man8$ lexgrog nss-myhostname.8.gz
nss-myhostname.8.gz: "nss-myhostname - Rechnernamenauflösung für die lokal
konfigurierten Systemrechnernamen"
nss-myhostname.8.gz: "libnss_myhostname.so.2 - Rechnernamenauflösung für die
lokal konfigurierten Systemrechnernamen"
helge@twentytwo:/usr/share/man/de/man8$ lexgrog systemd-importd.service.8.gz
systemd-importd.service.8.gz: "systemd-importd.service - VM- und
Container-Abbild-Import und -Exportdienst"
systemd-importd.service.8.gz: "systemd-importd - VM- und
Container-Abbild-Import und -Exportdienst"
Thus for the English → English man page the alias system works, but it
does not work for German → German, if the English exists. If it does
not exist, then it works.
I tried to understand where these links are processed, but
unfortunately I did not manage to do so.
I really would like to avoid adding tons of links in manpages-l10n for
each man page with aliases and each translation (we do ship quite a
few man pages and translations).
I chose the severity, as this bug prevents all users with localized
man pages to read them if they happen to call the "wrong" alias. Thus
impacting quite a bit manpages-l10n.

Changes:
manpages-l10n (4.16.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Dynamically find alternative names of man pages and install appropriate
symlinks. As dh_installman does not yet fully support this, do this
manually. Some links do not yet work, this needs to be dealt with
upstream. Closes: #1020742.
