Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.4-4
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n

I just had a look at the German man page for aptitude and noticed lots
of errors. Since aptitude does not use po4a (which I am familiar with)
I did not provide a patch, though my hints should give you a good
start where to look. If you've prepared an updated version I can have
another look if you like.

Examples:
*)Some lines are not translated:
APTITUDE(8)             aptitude command-line referenc APTITUDE(8)

*)Groff commands are often shown verbatim in the man page:
       Das erste Argument, das nicht mit einem Minus ("\fB-\fR") beginnt, wird
       \fBinstall\fR

*)Wrong quote signs are (often) used:
           "install"-Befehl aufgelistet werden. Enthält ein Paketname eine
  (instead of »install«-Befehl)

*)Untranslated words are still in the man page, probably a missing
  spell checker run (sometimes the German word *is* simmilar):
             Note
           Author.

Please note that I greatly appreciate the translation and recognize,
that the translator missed (which is good) lots of common pitfalls in
the translation.

Hi Helge,

Please, CC the maintainers of the new package when you reassign a bug
report (I had to dig in the BTS and import its mailbox in order to reply
to one single mail).

Please, subscribe directly to bug reports you care, there is no way you
can expect every contributor to CC the the initial submitter.

It seems like a docbook-xsl issue actually, since the problem, as far as
I understand it, isn't present in the French manpage.

Instead of reassigning this longish and mostly unrelated bug report to
docbook-xsl, I prefer to simply close it and advise you to properly
offer a fix of this issue directly upstream, they are quite responsive
(feel free to open a new bug report , mentioning an upstream patch as I
did in #594649 if you want to use a Debian tracker for this issue, but
reassigning a longish bug report log for a simple issue is not helpful
for maintainers. You can anyway point to this bug log to explain the
rationale in the new one if needed).

Please, look at #594649 and #605696 that document how the issue has been
previously fixed in French and Spanish (the last one gives precise
advices [1,2] and links to the accurate documents, no need to duplicate
them here I guess).
