usertag 555331 + bittenby found 555331 man-db/2.5.6-4 thanks In an up-to-date cowbuilder chroot I still get this issue:
(cowbuilder)r...@chianamo:~# LANG=C man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l
/usr/share/man/man8/update-alternatives.8.gz >/dev/null

(cowbuilder)r...@chianamo:~# apt-cache policy man-db
man-db:

Version table:

Looking at the patch, I thought it would be because the locales package
is not installed and thus /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED is not available.
Unfortunately, installing locales does not silence the warning:
(cowbuilder)r...@chianamo:~# apt-get install locales
