Helmut might have meant that "man stat" show the wrong man page, namely that of |
| 9 |
the stat(1) shell command. "man 3 stat" works, but refers to the more complete |
| 10 |
man page fstatat(3p), which is still a different man page than stat(2) (which |
| 11 |
is what "man lstat" will give you). |

Besides which, I switched to man-db a while ago, in February 2013, with zero |
| 14 |
problems. My main motivation was that sys-apps/man had some minor formatting |
| 15 |
bugs that have been unresolved for years, and I also wanted to switch to |
| 16 |
something that was maintained. And no, man pages are not always in English |
| 17 |
(although personally I tend to prefer the original English man pages to the |
| 18 |
German translations). |
