Re: Man pages in unstable don't display right--third try

[Curt Daugaard]

I had originally set locale to utf8 but have since reverted to 
en_US.ISO-8859-1 (via 'dpkg-reconfigure locales').  The man pages are 
still screwed up.  Is there some further step I need to take?

I tried searching Debian mailing list archives but couldn't find the 
posts you mention.

Thanks.

The majority of the man pages I bring up display raw escape characters.  
Some exceptions are calendar, finger, and hd.  The pager is most.

This happens at the console and in xterms.

Can anyone point me to a possible cause?

i had problem with man pages with the locale set to utf8 if that helps. i
think it was mentioned on one list or other some time ago. search the
archives.
