Package: man-db
Version: 2.5.2-3
Severity: normal
manpath seems always to add paths configured in /etc/manpath.conf, or at
least the mandatory ones, to the manpath first. This means that the
manpath generated is not necessarily in the same order as the user's
PATH.
However, according to bug #384301, this bug is irrelevant until the
manpath order is actually respected.
