This seems to have been a (now fixed) bug in zenity, not debmany:

* I can no more reproduce this issue.
* There is a zenity bug related to reporting items twice, pipe
  delimited: https://bugs.debian.org/717053
* The bug was found in 3.8.0-1 and fixed in 3.12.1-1. Your reported
  version is inbetween:

Hence, I'm now closing this bug report. Thanks for the bug report
nevertheless.

Regards, Axel

Bug#771766: debian-goodies: behavior problem with debmany when using -z zenity option.

[Kevin C.]

Package: debian-goodies
Version: 0.63
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

When using debmany -z somepackage  such as: debmany -z debian-goodies .
If double clicking a filename in the zenity dialog gives an error, but if
you first just select the filename and click ok it works. This
problem/annoyance seems to have started after an upgrade. I believe it used
to work fine. When double clicking for example dblob, the Error is this: 
/usr/bin/debmany: line 382: cd: /usr/share/man/man1/dglob.1.gz|/usr/share/man: 
No such file or directory

It seems zenity is returning a | delimited value, when double clicking the
filename and only returning the file when hitting ok.

To fix this I added this line: after line 360:
return=$(echo $return | cut -d\| -f2)

This seems to work for me, I don't if there are any other ill effects.
 
Thanks,
Kevin Compton
