> Does this mean that this bug is fixed in Stable and Testing/Unstable now? No, the change isn't in 5.32 (or 5.34 or 5.36). I expect it will probably be in 5.38. podlators is not separately packaged in Debian; Debian just uses the version that comes with Perl. This is usually simpler, but it means that the time lag between a change and having it show up in Debian is fairly long. It has to make its way into Perl and then Perl has to make a new stable release and Debian has to incorporate that stable release. In terms of stable releases, it won't be until the next Debian stable release after the upcoming one, since Perl 5.38 isn't out yet. In the interim, you would need to install Pod::Man directly from CPAN, vian cpanm for example, to get the new behavior. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
