After the zlib upgrade this problem disappars, so I'm merging with 562503, which seem to me to be the same bug, as I learned after reading some of the comments that man-db is using the zlib io functions to also handle non-compressed files. > The severity might need to be higher too, as it makes man-db a bit > unhelpful. Now that the problem is not visible anymore, the severity might warrant being lowered, but I'll leave this up to Colin. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
