I think these pages in manpages-de are totally gratuitous - they're just out-of-date copies of the pages man-db ships itself, with at most typographical differences as far as I can see (I checked manpath(5) and mandb(8)). Daniel, would you please remove the following pages from manpages-de: * apropos(1) * man(1) * manpath(1) * whatis(1) * zsoelim(1) * manpath(5) * catman(8) * mandb(8) ... and let me know the version number in which you did so, so that I can use it in Replaces? For now, I'm adding an unversioned Replaces. With my upstream hat on, I'm more than willing to work with any translator who wants to get their changes into man-db's own German manual pages.
