Package: wiki.debian.org Severity: normal In the ReduceDebian page one reads:
Note: There is also a purgelocales package that will remove the man pages, but that destroys the package management and package building system. The note is outdated: purgelocales was an experimental hack which had a short life. The current package name is "localepurge". It does not "destroy" the pkg management and building system. The man page and the summary put it clearly: Please note, that this tool is a hack which is *not* integrated with Debian's package management system and therefore is not for the faint of heart. This program interferes with the Debian package management and does provoke strange, but usually harmless, behaviour of programs related with apt/dpkg like dpkg-repack, reportbug, etc. Moreover, the suggested instructions rm -rf /usr/share/man/?? rm -rf /usr/share/man/??_* Have the same drawbacks. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
