Package: man-db
Version: 2.6.7.1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainers,
* What led up to the situation?
Testing "lexgrog" on a file in a cat-directoy
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
lexgrog -c /var/cache/man/cat1/test.1.gz
* What was the outcome of this action?
/var/cache/man/cat1/test.1.gz: parse failed
Return value was 2.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
It should succed.
The same bug occurs with the option --whatis
##
This happens when the "NAME"-line contains an escape sequence for a
terminal, what is to be expected for a file, that is already formatted
for a terminal. Extrapolating, any extra (visible) character causes
the same error.
