Wow that's an evil mess, and almost certainly broken with anything other than ISO-8859-1. I would suggest burning it to the ground and using "man -l" or similar, at least on systems that have man-db, because xman appears to be just doing a bad job of reimplementing it. Failing that it would be OK to hardcode /usr/lib/man-db/zsoelim for now (although you might want to test it and try both). Sorry for the inconvenience; I thought this was an internal utility nobody else was using, so it seemed a no-brainer to move it when it was conflicting with other packages on other systems ... -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
