german grep manpage differs from `grep --help` and english version of the grep manpage

[sadfub]

Binary package hint: manpages-de

When using german manpages e.g. the option "-o" is not listed in the manpage, but when typing "grep --help" it is. Clearly this is a translation error cause the translation seems a little outdated. With `LANG=C man grep` this option is listed. So there is a need for a newer translation.

1)
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04

2) grep:
  Installed: 2.5.3~dfsg-3
  Candidate: 2.5.3~dfsg-3
  Version table:
 *** 2.5.3~dfsg-3 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) Expected:
That on german systems the option "-o" is in the german manpage.

4) Actual:
The option is not listed in the german manpage but in the english version it is, and in `grep --help` it is too.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, Ubuntu gets its translations from the translations portion of Launchpad ([WWW] http://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/), where translation teams work on making Ubuntu more useful in their language. If you want to change a translation in Ubuntu there is the right place.

Should I now retransmit this bug to translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu or
is this bug already redirected to it?

thanks

No, this bug report is correct. Manpage translations are not handled by Launchpad, so the package needs to be patched.
