Package: man-db Version: 2.6.1-2 Severity: normal man -f doesn't support subpages (as documented under --no-subpages). For example:
$ man -w git diff /usr/share/man/man1/git-diff.1.gz but: $ man -f git diff git (1) - the stupid content tracker Git (3pm) - Perl interface to the Git version control system diff (1) - compare files line by line It would be useful if -f supported subpages, so that it is consistent with plain man, and man -f can be relied on to give the titles of the pages that plain man would display. Alternatively, -f should be documented not to support subpages.
