Workarounds would be: * Use '--help' parameter * Use a search engine to find an 'lsof' online man page. This has been first introduced with the new upstream release of '4.93.2+dfsg-1'. lsof | 4.93.2+dfsg-1 | focal lsof | 4.93.2+dfsg-1 | groovy [Test Case] == CLI == * On an F/G system, perform "man lsof" It will errors out as follows: " man: can't open /usr/share/man/./version: No such file or directory No manual entry for lsof " == Ubuntu Manpage == * Browse the Ubuntu Manpage: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search.py?q=lsof No 'lsof' manpage is found for F/G. [Where problem could occur] If a problem arise, it will only affect the lsof manpage. The fix adds a build dependency 'groff-base'[0] that is found in 'main' for all affected release above and pretty much at the same level of code base. debian: groff-base | 1.22.4-5 | unstable ubuntu: groff-base | 1.22.4-4build1 | focal groff-base | 1.22.4-5 | groovy groff-base | 1.22.4-5 | hirsute [0] - https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/manual/groff.html#man [Other info] In theory, I would possibly wait for the next bug fixing SRU as an opportunity to merge that change, but according to the d/changelog, there is not much frequent SRU(s) done for 'lsof', so we might have to just fix 'lsof' for this particular case which can be an annoyance for certain Ubuntu users. The package has been fixed in Debian upstream '4.93.2+dfsg-1.1' and auto-synced in Hirsute. It is now needing an SRU for F/G. Debian bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=950601 [Original Description] When trying to view the manpage of lsof, this happens: desktop ~ $ LANG=C man lsof man: can't open /usr/share/man/./version: No such file or directory No manual entry for lsof The man page is present at /usr/share/man/man8/lsof.8.gz. This: zless /usr/share/man/man8/lsof.8.gz reveals that there is the line ".so ./version" at the beginning, with the file "version" not existing. Other man pages don't seem to be affected.
