Package: debian-goodies
Version: 0.75
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I think that commit 27ac5129ce187c6f571cac25ef70553bb9c9d475 broke the
error message dman used to produce when it failed to fetch some page.
It says "not found: " but it no longer says what it didn't find.

I actually run into this several weeks ago and was ready to send a patch
back then, but then I ended up rewriting most when I decided to
implement caching.

I can't remember where I read that the maintainer doesn't like
maintaining scripts longer than a couple hundred lines, and this one
grew to about 390 so in the end I didn't send it and forgot about the
bug report.  Today I remembered and here it is.

Cheers.
