Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-7
Severity: normal

Since man in UTF-8 locales helpfully (so it thinks) turns ticks into
nice curly quotes, a lot of passages end up wrong, such as:

       After the preceding expansions, all unquoted occurrences of the  char-
       acters  \,  ',  and " that did not result from one of the above expan-

and

            If this variable is not set, bash acts as if it had  the  value
            $'\nreal\t%3lR\nuser\t%3lU\nsys%3lS'.  If the value is null, no

and

       Words of the form $'string' are treated specially.  The  word  expands
       \'     single quote

(I turned all the quotes back into ticks because my text editor
claimed that with the quote characters it couldn't sanely encode this
bug report.)
