Hi!

I am kinda puzzled about this, cause manpages-it contains more
translated man-pages other than the ones pertaining dpkg and I think
that a Replaces in dpkg (which is a package installed on every Debian
system, I suppose) makes the manpages-it package basically
"uninstallable".

I was told that if a package had its own translated man pages (dpkg in
this case) those would have taken precedence over the ones on manpages-it, so
it would not have been a great problem to have "double" translated
versions.

Anyway I did ask for the removal of those man pages from manpages-it, to
make things clearer.

I will from now on.

But please note that the package manpages-it is not created/maintained by
Debian Italian localization team, but rather has been traditionally
maintained by the Italian Linux Documentation Project. 

Although I did ask permission for the update from the previous
translators, the Italian Debian localization team has no control on the
manpages-it collection which, as far as I know, it's going through some
reorganization upstream after a period of not very active maintenance.

Thanks for the heads up and the hint. I will follow your suggestion in
the future!
