<title>The Package Installs Manual Pages in Incorrect or
Non-Displayable Encoding</title>
<para>Severity: Low</para>
<para>LFS expects that manual pages are in the language-specific (usually
8-bit) encoding, as specified on <ulink
url="&lfs-root;/chapter06/man-db.html"/>. However, some packages install
translated manual pages in UTF-8 encoding (e.g., Shadow, already dealt
with), or manual pages in languages not in the table. Not all BLFS packages
have been audited for conformance with the requirements put in LFS. If you
find a manual page installed by any of BLFS packages that is obviously in
the wrong encoding, please remove or convert it as needed, and report this
to BLFS team as a bug.</para>
