At the moment, unfortunately, manual pages must still be written in the legacy encoding for the respective language, in this case ISO-8859-1. Once support for source UTF-8 manual pages is completed, they will need to be installed in a different path anyway. This is also reported in #395503, and the reporter's assessment is correct. To the manpages-es maintainer: please make this change. Thanks, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
