We got this sorted out so that libpipeline and man-db build without patches in Homebrew: https://github.com/ylluminarious/homebrew-man-db/issues/1 However, the original submitter is reluctant to submit these formulae to the Homebrew maintainers again due to their earlier conflict (see the end of that issue). I'm not a good person to do it since I don't use a Mac. Would anyone who uses a Mac and is reasonably Homebrew-literate like to pick this up? I don't think the conflict should recur since the upstream build is clean now, and I'd be happy to do whatever other upstream support is needed. Thanks, -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
