Package: manpages Version: 3.74-1 Severity: normal The console(4) man page is missing. Several other man pages in this package refer to it.
It looks like the man page is not installed due to some conflict with the old console-tools package which is no longer in Debian but may still be installed on some people's systems. The end result is that anyone who *doesn't* have the old wheezy (or older) console-tools doesn't get the man page at all. That doesn't seem right.... -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) manpages depends on no packages. manpages recommends no packages.
