Hi Helge, It's not the entire package, just the specific man pages that are carried by the program package. So the de fuser.1 will still exist, just in psmisc not manpages-de. The benefit is that the psmisc po4a will update the man page every time the main man page is updated so they stay in sync.
You can see that with fuser. psmisc has the 2020 version[1], manpages-de has the 2016 version[2]. This is no one's fault, it just takes time to gurgle the pages through the process. The resulting German manpage[3] is as up-to-date as the English one, with some English lines sneaking in around the updated -Z option. psmisc 23.4-1 was the first to have these man pages, man-pages 4.2.0-1 has them too, but 4.9.1-1 will not have them. In effect, the pages have moved packages which are covered by [4] We are in situation #9 "Reorg: A and B existed; move some files from A to B; new A does not require new B" The man pages "moved" from A (manpages-de) to B (psmisc) So the control file for the new 4.9.1-1 manpages-de package will have: Breaks: psmisc (<< 23.4-2) 23.4-2, which I will have to update with these control lines, will have: Breaks: manpages-de (<< 4.9.1-1) Replaces: manpages-de (<< 4.9.1-1) Does that seem to make sense to everyone? As Mario said, we are going to go through this again with procps, so hopefully, it will go smoother. If we nut this out properly it will go better.
