[Debconf-devel] Bug#385549: debconf: missing Russian manpages

[Stepan Golosunov]

Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.3
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

Despite the presence in the source Russian manpages are not available in
the binary packages. This is because they are not enabled in
doc/man/po4a/po4a.cfg:

--- doc/man/po4a/po4a.cfg.orig  2006-03-17 23:39:46.000000000 +0400
+++ doc/man/po4a/po4a.cfg       2006-09-01 07:36:10.000000000 +0500

-[po4a_langs] fr pt_BR
+[po4a_langs] fr pt_BR ru
 
 [po4a_paths] po4a/po/debconf.pot $lang:po4a/po/$lang.po
 

But this will not be enough - man-db expects everything in
/usr/share/man/ru to have KOI8-R encoding, while translation is done in
UTF-8 (in this case man -Lru debconf will be showing pseudographics
instead of letters even in UTF-8 locale). And I did not manage to find
the best place to do recoding.
