Package: docbook Version: 4.5-5 Severity: important Using docbook via docbook-to-man produces noisy error messages since recently. This is definitively a regrssion introduced in a recent update (perhaps 4.5-5 or to a dependency of docbook). Unfortunately I do not know anything about docbook internally so I am not exactly sure who is to blame.
Calling docbook-to-man for this simple manpage:
