Saw that. According to http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/man, the man package is on 0.4.1 and 10.1 only. But i got this on 10.2/unstable on my machine. Dunno why the man package seems to have been discontinued. But if 10.3's man is unable to deal with localized man page, it would be good to reintegrate it :) You could try to pick up the man info file from 10.2/unstable and put it in your local repository. If it works, you could submit it, the hard part may already be done :) I can't do that myself since i'm stuck with 10.2 for now. > I cannot > demand the user to install a Fink's man package I cannot even find for > that purpose.

It's totally independant from the packaging system and the OS.
