Package: man-db
Version: 2.5.4-1
Severity: minor
Creating a script ~/bin/tbl, with ~/bin being in the PATH, brokes
the man command. Obviously, somewhere man calles tbl instead of
/usr/bin/tbl
Thanks

Yes, this is intentional and allows for system administrators to
override tbl with a local version. It also insulates man-db from path
changes in other packages (see #385651).
I recommend that you either arrange for your tbl to be compatible with
the system one, or call your local script something else.
