Package: man-db Version: 2.5.0-1 Severity: normal Hi
Some time ago I added the -Tascii8 option to invokation of man in dwww as a workaround for bug #340673. Today I noticed, it no longer works (i.e. the man pages showed by dwww are empty). After diagnosing the problem, I discovered that `man -Tascii8' tries to read the man page from standard input, e.g.: $ man -Tascii8 -Pcat man < /etc/manpath.config 2>/dev/null | head -n 3 # manpath.config # # This file is used by the man-db package to configure the man and cat paths. # It is also used to provide a manpath for those without one by examining # their PATH environ- Without the option, man works as expected: $ man -Pcat man < /etc/manpath.config 2>/dev/null | head -n 3 MAN(1) Manual pager utils MAN(1) Best Regards, robert -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22 Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/pdksh Versions of packages man-db depends on: ii bsdmainutils 6.1.7 collection of more utilities from ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.14 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.14.7 package maintenance system for Deb ii groff-base 1.18.1.1-13 GNU troff text-formatting system ( ii libc6 2.6.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-3 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-6 compression library - runtime man-db recommends no packages. -- debconf information: man-db/build-database: true man-db/rebuild-database: true * man-db/install-setuid: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
