Can you build or repair a road on a path occupied by a barbarian in Traders & Barbarians?

The later edition and the German rules both allow it, while an older English sentence still circulates.

Yes in the current edition. Roads may be built on edges with barbarians as normal, and a damaged road there can be repaired too; the older 2008 sentence forbidding it was a misprint. Whether the free starting road may go on such a path is disputed.
