Source: man-db Version: 2.13.1-1 Severity: important Tags: ftbfs upstream Justification: fails to build from source User: [email protected] Usertags: glibc-2.43
Dear maintainer,
man-db fails to build from source with glibc 2.43, currently in
experimental. From the build log:

The full build log is attached to this bug report.
The issue is due to ISO C23 declaration of bsearch, which now returns a
pointer to a const-qualified type when the input argument is a pointer
to a const-qualified type [1].
