Description:
I don't really know if i have to report in manual-pages package or glibc package. I hope it's correct.

gnu libc related package not have manual page (pacman -Ql glibc|grep /usr/bin)

i discovered that by tweaking my locales. Non standard locales, LC_TELEPHONE .. LC_IDENTIFICATION are not documentation in archlinux.

asking google, i found http://www.tin.org/bin/man.cgi?section=1&topic=localedef, which is a manual page of localedef which speak about LC_IDENTIFICATION and others non standard locale. And i'm wondering why this man pages is not in arch.

In arch, even with manpages installed, only a localdef (1p) is present, no localdef (1). And this don't solve non standard LC_TELEPHONE variable definitions (non posix).

So, i think adding man pages of libc tools can be helpful !

I don't know why ldd (tool which come from glibc, have a man page in man-pages package)

Additional info:
* package version : 2.12.1-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
man 1 localedef
man locale-gen
This task depends upon

It appears that man page is written for Debian. Glibc itself only provides info pages. You are free to add a package containing the relevant man pages from Debian to the AUR but they will not be added in the glibc package without upstream approval.
