Ok this is the issue.

 The pypi install builds a wheel and puts all the shared files
under:/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/usr/local/share/ rather
than putting them in /usr/local/share.

There is code in the 2.1.0 setup.py installer
(make_data_files_absolute) that is supposed to detect and fix this.
It's a side effect of changing to setuptools. Apparently it's not
working 8-(.

The man pages, locale files etc. need to live outside of the python
site-packages directory to be useful. On a Docker it's less important
but the same install process has to work on a non-containerized
platform as well. 

I changed the Dockerfile to link them to the right place. This wastes
a bit of disk space, but it's minimal.

Please change your Dockerfile and replace the part starting with
if [ "$source" = "pypiy" with this stanza: 


    if [ "$source" = "pypi" ]; then pip install roundup; \
        cp -ril /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/usr/local/share/* \
           /usr/local/share; fi

Then rebuild and you should be ok.

Created a new issue against the roundup setup code.
