Package: man-db
Version: 2.7.0.2-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

  I changed the owner of "/usr/bin/man" and /usr/bin/mandb" from "man"
to "root" with  "dpkg-reconfigure man-db" (answered the question about
"setuid man" with no).

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

  I ran "/usr/bin/man test" after the change.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

/usr/bin/man: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/man: undefined symbol: pipecmd_chdir

  The return value was 127.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

  The usual display of the man page.
