The German man-pages can be a real pain. Guess there are too few people
who keep them up-to-date. Oh well ... maybe some day when I have more time.

Until then I make it a point to never install them in the first place
when I can avoid it:
`LINGUAS='en' emerge -1 man-pages && emerge -C man-pages-de`

Or I just delete them with `rm -r /usr/share/man/de*` :)
