Package: man2html
Version: 1.6g-12
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The problem:
1) Install and configure man2html package.
2) Make sure that MANHTMLPAGER is not set.
3) Run `hman` command (script) to view man pages in the default
browser: lynx.
3) Bug: Get red lynx error: "executable rejected due to location or
path"
Proposed fix:
Change line# 70 in /usr/bin/hman from:
CG="lynxcgi:/usr/lib/cgi-bin/man"
to
CG="http://$HOST/cgi-bin/man";
With fix in place `hman` runs as expected.
A temporary workaround, to avoid this problem rather than fixing it:
Set `MANHTMLPAGER=sensible-browser` prior to starting `hman`.
