Despite the HTML files mentioned here are pre-generated, coming from xymon's upstream tar ball and are not (yet) regenerated during the build of the xymon package, this issue is nevertheless actually a bug in /usr/bin/man2html from the man2html-base package. Hence cloning this issue as man2html-base bug which affects xymon. Because if I manually rebuild these HTML files from man pages, the only things which change are: * The HTML header (spelling changes and "<!DOCTYPE …" added) * The time stamps * The "http://localhost"; is no more present in the hyperlinks. How to reproduce: * Install git and man2html-base. * run these commands: $ git clone https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xymon.git $ cd xymon $ build/makehtml.sh 4.3.28 * Showing that nothing changed with regards to this issue: $ git diff docs/manpages/man5/graphs.cfg.5.html $ $BROWSER docs/manpages/man5/graphs.cfg.5.html On the other hand, latest when this is fixed in man2html, we should start to regenerate the HTML files from the Xymon man pages at build time. Hence not just reassigning the bug to man2html-base but keeping it open against Xymon to be reminded of this TODO.
