Package: debhelper Version: 12.7 Severity: important gnubg 1.06.002-2 no longer builds with the latest debhelper, producing the following error message:

The slightly unusual thing about this package is that the upstream make install logic installs the man pages compressed, so they're already compressed when dh_installman finds them and it just tries to convert the character set. My guess is that the previous man command used for this handles compressed man pages transparently, but man-recode does not. This no longer affects gnubg since I worked around it in debian/rules in the new version I just uploaded, but I suspect this will make other packages FTBFS. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii autotools-dev 20180224.1 ii dh-autoreconf 19 ii dh-strip-nondeterminism 1.6.0-1 ii dpkg 1.19.7 ii dpkg-dev 1.19.7 ii dwz 0.13-1 ii file 1:5.37-5 ii libdebhelper-perl 12.6.1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.7 ii man-db 2.8.7-3 ii perl 5.30.0-6 ii po-debconf 1.0.21 debhelper recommends no packages.
