Package: man-db Version: 2.5.5-3 Severity: minor This is a very minor issue but it got me worried since I was first suspecting that there was someting wrong with my package. I can attach the real packages to the bug report if that is ok and you can not reproduce the bug by just looking at the explanation below.
Steps to reproduce: 1) install a package with manual page foo in section 1 2) man foo 3) install a new version of the same package that now has manual page foo in section 2 4) man foo Expected results: 4) man shows the manual page of foo Actual results: 4) man prints the following warning message and then shows the manual page of foo: man: can't resolve /usr/share/man/man1/foo.1.gz: No such file or directory More info: 1) Apparently /var/lib/dpkg/info/man-db.postinst calls mandb -pq when it is triggered on the package upgrade. This -p causes it to not check for deleted manual pages. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages man-db depends on: ii bsdmainutils 6.1.10 collection of more utilities from ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.15.3.1 Debian package management system ii groff-base 1.20.1-4 GNU troff text-formatting system ( ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-6 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-14 compression library - runtime man-db recommends no packages.
