Package: manpages-tr
Version: 1.0.5
Severity: normal

I happened to notice that mandb is spewing a *lot* of warnings for
Turkish manual pages, and investigated. This seems to be because all the
occurrences of \- have been replaced with \N'45' (i.e. the groff escape
for a literal ASCII -), including the one in the NAME (İSİM) section.
This is dubious anyway, but replacing the one in the NAME section breaks
man-db's whatis parsing.

Please undo this replacement at least for the NAME section (it must be
\- there), and preferably for the rest of the page as well; it is not
normally good practice to use \N because it means the page's semantic
contents depend on the output device. I'd be happy to advise on better
replacements for specific cases on request, if you can't find them in
groff_char(7).

Thanks,
