Package: man-db
Version: 2.4.3-1
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n

When no manual page for a system call can be found, man says (in the
Finnish locale) "Sovellukselle foo ei ole opastesivua", literally
translated as 'The application foo has no help page'.  While the choice
of words may be appropriate for section 1 and section 8 pages, it is not 
for other sections (and you really don't know if the man page being
looked would be in section 1 or 8, or not, when you don't find the
page).

I appreciate that this is a rather difficult translation problem (and
hence I don't have a suggestion for a correction), but the current
wording is suboptimal.
