           Summary: an obsolete option '+' is described in the Japanese
                    man page of the tail command
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 12
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

          Clone Of: 551471


Description of problem:
The Japanese tail(1) man page still includes a description for the obsolete
'+N' option to start tail'ing the file on line N.  Older versions of tail
allowed you to run
    tail +5 file.txt
to start reading file.txt on line 5.  This is ambiguous and obsolete and has
been replaced with the -n option:
    tail -n +5 file.txt

The English man page has a section describing how this is obsolete:
   '_POSIX2_VERSION' COMPATIBILITY ISSUES:
       On  older  systems, the leading '-' can be replaced by '+' in the
obso-
       lete option syntax with the same meaning as  in  counts,  and  obsolete
       usage  overrides  normal  usage  when  the two conflict. ...

However, the Japanese man page indicates this is still valid:
   書式
       tail  [<-|+>COUNTOPTIONS] ...
   ...
   オプション
       <-|+>COUNTOPTIONS
              このオプションは最初に指定した場合に限って認識される。 COUNT  は
              10 進数の数値。単位を表す文字 (‘b’, ‘k’, ‘m’) を後置したり (それ
              ぞれの意味は ‘-c’ のものと同じ)、行単位のカウントを指定する  ‘l’
              を 後置したり、他のオプション文字 (‘cqv’) を後置したりできる。何
              も文字が後置されなかった場合は ‘l’ が指定されたのと同じことに な
              る。短いオプション形式 - と + は推奨されない。


Please update the Japanese tail(1) man page to indicate the '+N' syntax is
obsolete.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
man-pages-ja-20060815-11.el5.noarch

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. export LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8
2. man 1 tail

Actual results:
man page indicates 'tail +N' is valid syntax

Expected results:
should instead describe 'tail -n +N'
