Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
We could have the users run:
$ grep -rl $'\xc3\xb6' /usr/share/man/*
to check for files that have certain characters. On my system I get:
{{{
usr/share/man/man1/ysh.1
/usr/share/man/man3/Spiffy.3
/usr/share/man/man3/Test::Base::Filter.3
/usr/share/man/man3/Module::Install::TestBase.3
/usr/share/man/man3/Test::Base.3
/usr/share/man/man3/Test::YAML.3
/usr/share/man/man3/YAML::Types.3
/usr/share/man/man3/YAML::Node.3
/usr/share/man/man3/YAML::Loader.3
/usr/share/man/man3/YAML::Error.3
/usr/share/man/man3/YAML::Loader::Base.3
/usr/share/man/man3/YAML.3
/usr/share/man/man3/YAML::Dumper::Base.3
/usr/share/man/man3/YAML::Base.3
/usr/share/man/man3/YAML::Marshall.3
/usr/share/man/man3/YAML::Tag.3
/usr/share/man/man3/YAML::Dumper.3
}}}
and then run an appropriate sed. I also have a lot of other directories
in my man pages (de, es, ja, etc) where I suspect these and other non-
ascii characters exist.
In all honesty, this is really a trivial issue and should be marked
wontfix. To do it correctly, '''all''' man pages would have to be
reviewed and a set of corrections created for each unique situation. The
effort is far more than what its worth.
