Interresing. manpages-fr and manpages-de from manpages-l10n in bookworm does not ship $LANG/man1/xz.1.gz but that one in bullseye-bpo does. This does does not look right. I could try to upgrade xz in bullseye to a newert version with translated man pages but IMHO the testing and bpo version should remain unchaned. Did I miss something? > Regards, Sebastian
