I've left mine unheld.
What I mean here is that it may try to replace it with the *current* (broken) version if you do another upgrade run before manpages is fixed, because the packaging system knows they're different (file sizes, md5sums, etc.), and last time I looked assumed that the version in the archive was canonical. If manpages is in your next upgrade run, then indeed it won't be a problem. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
