Thanks for the report! Thats great. I put the other Debian maintainer for manpages in CC so that both are aware as well. If they are able to prepare a release soon after you did, then the translators could start dealing with [1] which looks like a big change? Regarding timing: There are quite a few fixes noted by the translators in the original man pages. So it might make sense to report them as well soon? Should I report them one by one as I did in the past to this list and you and Michael Kerrisk in CC? (We are not done with all translation updates, but I would simply report the current issues even if slightly incomplete). > So, I'll try to find a complete list of duplicate NAMEs, and keep only one of them.
