Man doesn't seem to use cat versions of manpages

I've discovered that man doesn't seem to use the preformatted pages from the cat heirarchy in /var. It always goes back to the source and reformats. Man does diligently save the formatted pages in /var when exiting, however. Is this known behavior? Any suggestions? Regards, Randy

xbase-client

Where can I find the xbase-clients package...it's missing from the unstable tree? Regards, Randy

Michel and Hartmut- Thanks for the pointer. In general, if I stumble across further dependency problems, is there a central place to look for the pointers to packages not yet included in the official tree? Or is the best thing to ask here? Regards, Randy

libc6 Dependency problems

nore the dependencies and install anyway? Alternatively, can someone determine if the >= 2.1 dependency is valid and change? or update libc6? Regards, Randall Barth
