Description

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.3/chapter06/man-db.html uses http://ccb.club.fr/man/man-fr-1.58.0.tar.bz2 as an example of manual pages that can be copied to /usr/share/man/language_code unchanged. However, this is a very old version of French manual pages. Newer French manual pages are available at http://manpagesfr.free.fr/download/man-pages-fr-2.40.0.tar.bz2, but they are in UTF-8.

I propose to use updated French manual pages as an example of what should be done with UTF-8 manual pages, instead of the current Spanish example. The benefit is that a workaround for a packaging bug is not needed, because there is no packaging bug.

German manual pages from http://www.infodrom.org/projects/manpages-de/download/manpages-de-0.5.tar.gz can be used as an example of manual pages that can be just copied.

As I understood Colin's explanation, with man-db-2.51+, the manual pages do not need to be 'fixed' however, they do need to be placed into the correct directory.
