The help2man installed with lsb_release is too old. This has been discuted in November (about pango, see thread starting at http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-support/2017-November/079667.html). Not sure what the outcome was... Ah and also more recently in the thread starting at http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-dev/2018-February/034037.html Guess we can state one of the BLFS editors rule: Editors struggling to stay up to date with upstream never fix little annoyances... Let me try. After half a day spent fixing longindex, I guess I'm up to fixing this too.
