Thanks for catching this. That bizarre code predates my time as
maintainer, and evidently I never noticed it enough to clean it up.
Fixed now:

* src/man.c (gripe_no_man): Don't emit a different message in the
troff case; it's extra translation load and nobody really cares
about the distinction. Avoid splitting up a sentence into two
translatable pieces (Debian bug #320111).
* po/ca.po, po/cs.po, po/da.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fi.po,
po/fr.po, po/it.po, po/ja.po, po/pl.po, po/pt_BR.po, po/ro.po,
po/ru.po, po/sv.po: Update with msgmerge.
Cheers,
