Package: dwww
Version: 1.13.4+nmu3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading to buster, I failed to get any man pages showing in my
dwww output. The <pre class="man"> tag is completely empty.
After editing dwww-convert for debugging, I found an error from man:
man: nroff: Bad system call
Then, I found an example of that on another bug report, which led me to
add a line to dwww-convert:

That got it working... but I don't really know why. :-)
Hopefully this will lead you to the proper fix!
Thanks!
Chad.
