Details

Description: util-linux now provides translated man pages, until 2.38.1 it requires adding 'po4a' to makedepends and appeding '--enable-poman' to ./configure. As of 2.39, simply adding 'po4a' to makedepends should do the job because poman was set to be enable by default.

note: enabling translated man pages for 2.38.1 increases the package size from 2.5 MB to 5 MB, so you might want to consider keeping a separate package for the translated man pages.
