Thanks for your report. Your direct symptom has been fixed by simple
rebuilds since then (as configure detected the new path), but I've now
fixed the cause upstream. This will be in man-db 2.5.0.

* m4/man-path-progs.m4: Rename to ...
* m4/man-check-progs.m4: ... this. Use AC_CHECK_PROGS rather than
  AC_PATH_PROGS.
* configure.ac: Use AC_CHECK_PROGS rather than
  AC_PATH_PROG/AC_PATH_PROGS, and MAN_CHECK_PROGS rather than
  MAN_PATH_PROGS. This fixes problems due to system utilities moving
  around on $PATH (Debian bug #385651).

Cheers,

Suppose there is a man page that includes another man page with the .so request

to
use the bzip2 program for uncompressing.  Unfortunately it searches bzip2 only
