2379	man-db-2.5.5 nitpicks	ken@…	Matthew Burgess	"First, we still claim UTF-8 pages need to be in a ll.UTF-8 directory. No longer true (I'm testing on a modified clfs system, everything in the ll/ directories is found and used, both legacy encoded and UTF-8.  This also means our instructions for installing non-English manpages are excessively complicated (the only complication would be if someone had pages in an unexpected encoding).

Second, we still claim
{{{
This package does not come with a test suite. 
}}}
Not true.

Unfortunately, building man-db as an add-on after the basic system (in my case using gdbm instead of berkelydb) the test suite fails when it calls col (which reports errors, although the output is good).  The maintainer is looking at this, but I suspect LFS will have a failure when it tries to invoke /usr/bin/col (which we pass to configure) during the man-db testsuite because util-linux-ng has not been built yet.
