Package: man-db Version: 2.4.3-5 Severity: minor There's no debian package that puts man pages under /usr/X11R6/man any more, therefore it seems to be futile and a waste of computer ressources to go searching /usr/X11R6/man et al. Please remove it from man-db:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ man --debug gem [...] >From the config file /etc/manpath.config: [...] Mandatory mandir `/usr/X11R6/man'. [...] Path `/usr/X11R6/bin' mapped to mandir `/usr/X11R6/man'.

I've checked the FHS 2.3 and it only says that: "Manual pages for X11R6 are stored in /usr/X11R6/man", so a patch that removes any reference to /usr/X11R6/man from the man pages would probably not be accepted upstream and would have to be maintained for Debian for the medium term...
