A section 8 manual page for a binary in /usr/libexec triggers: I: kafs-client: spare-manual-page [usr/share/man/man8/kafs-dns.8.gz] N: N: Each manual page in /usr/share/man should have a reason to be there. This N: manual page does not appear to have a valid reason to be shipped. N: N: For manual pages in sections 1 and 8, an executable (or a link to one) N: should exist. This check currently considers all installation packages N: created by the same sources, as long as they are present. N: N: Please refer to Manual pages (Section 12.1) in the Debian Policy Manual N: and Bug#583125 for details. N: N: Visibility: info N: Show-Always: no N: Check: documentation/manual N: Renamed from: manpage-without-executable I think this is incorrect and section 8 is the appropriate section for documenting root-only helper programs that may be installed in /usr/libexec. (At least, if section 8 is not the right section, I'm not sure what the right section would be.) Fix is probably to just add /usr/libexec to the list of directories checked for binaries to satisfy this test. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.0.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.39.90.20221231-1 ii bzip2 1.0.8-5+b1 ii diffstat 1.65-1 ii dpkg 1.21.15 ii dpkg-dev 1.21.15 ii file 1:5.41-4 ii gettext 0.21-10 ii gpg 2.2.40-1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.6 ii iso-codes 4.12.0-1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.40+b2 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.68-1 ii libberkeleydb-perl 0.64-2+b1 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.48-2 ii libclass-xsaccessor-perl 1.19-4+b1 ii libclone-perl 0.46-1 ii libconfig-tiny-perl 2.28-2 ii libconst-fast-perl 0.014-2 ii libcpanel-json-xs-perl 4.32-1+b1 ii libdata-dpath-perl 0.58-2 ii libdata-validate-domain-perl 0.10-1.1 ii libdata-validate-uri-perl 0.07-2 ii libdevel-size-perl 0.83-2+b1 pn libdigest-sha-perl <none> ii libdpkg-perl 1.21.15 ii libemail-address-xs-perl 1.05-1+b1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.09-2 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-3 ii libfont-ttf-perl 1.06-2 ii libhtml-html5-entities-perl 0.004-3 ii libhtml-tokeparser-simple-perl 3.16-4 ii libio-interactive-perl 1.023-2 ii libipc-run3-perl 0.048-3 ii libjson-maybexs-perl 1.004004-1 ii liblist-compare-perl 0.55-2 ii liblist-someutils-perl 0.59-1 ii liblist-utilsby-perl 0.12-2 ii libmldbm-perl 2.05-4 ii libmoo-perl 2.005004-3 ii libmoox-aliases-perl 0.001006-2 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-2 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.144-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.20-1+b1 ii libperlio-utf8-strict-perl 0.010-1 ii libproc-processtable-perl 0.634-1+b2 ii libregexp-wildcards-perl 1.05-3 ii libsereal-decoder-perl 5.001+ds-1+b1 ii libsereal-encoder-perl 5.001+ds-2 ii libsort-versions-perl 1.62-3 ii libsyntax-keyword-try-perl 0.28-1 ii libterm-readkey-perl 2.38-2+b1 ii libtext-levenshteinxs-perl 0.03-5+b1 ii libtext-markdown-discount-perl 0.13-2 ii libtext-xslate-perl 3.5.9-1+b2 ii libtime-duration-perl 1.21-2 ii libtime-moment-perl 0.44-2+b1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3300-2 ii libunicode-utf8-perl 0.62-2 ii liburi-perl 5.17-1 ii libwww-mechanize-perl 2.15-1 ii libwww-perl 6.67-1 ii libxml-libxml-perl 2.0207+dfsg+really+2.0134-1+b1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.84+ds-1+b1 ii lzip [lzip-decompressor] 1.23-4 ii lzop 1.04-2 ii man-db 2.11.1-1 ii patchutils 0.4.2-1 ii perl [libencode-perl] 5.36.0-6 ii t1utils 1.41-4 ii unzip 6.0-27 ii xz-utils 5.4.0-0.1 lintian recommends no packages.
