Hi!

----

While looking at some other issue with japanese manual pages on a system
where multiple users use different locales I hit the problem that there
wasn't a "windex" (manual page index file) for the japanese manual
pages:
-- snip --
$ find /usr/share/man -name windex
/usr/share/man/windex
-- snip --

A quick check shows that "catman -w" creates the manual pages if the
locale matches the manual page subdir, e.g.
-- snip --
$ (LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 MANPATH=/usr/share/man catman -w)
$ find /usr/share/man -name windex
/usr/share/man/ja_JP.UTF-8/windex
/usr/share/man/windex
-- snip --

Erm... is this intentional or a bug ? At least I would expect that a
"catman -w" crawls/indexes all manual pages of all locales in one
step... or is there a reason why this shouldn't be done ?

Bye,
Roland
