Hello Martina, hello Utkarsh, manpages-l10n will be released in ~ 1 week, including the translated man pages for net-tools, causing a file conflict with net-tools in Sid.
If you are short of time, I can perform a friendly NMU of net-tools
taking care of this conflict.
It would be great if you could inform me about your plans, since my
initial report in June I haven't seen a reply from you.
Thanks!
Greetings
Helge
