Package: man-db
Version: 2.4.3-3
Severity: minor
man mandb says:
-q, --quiet
Produce no warnings.
/etc/cron.daily/man-db says:
start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /dev/null \
--startas /usr/bin/mandb --oknodo --chuid man \
-- --no-purge --quiet
So I think it's being run with --quiet. Yet I still see mails like:
/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man3/open_memstream.3.gz is a dangling symlink
Yeah, I know, there's probably something wrong with open_memstream's package
(and all the other packages for which I see these messages). The point here is
that mandb is generating a warning when the documentation says it shouldn't.
I'd rather the behavior changed to be in line with the documentation than vice
versa but that choice is the maintainer's prerogative.
