Which might justify a reason for severity serious - breaks unrelated
software.
And it's even worse. The avr-man command which AFAICS was supposed to
get the right manpages from the alternative path, is NOT WORKING!
$ avr-man errno
No manual entry for errno
Looking at the script, I see that it refers to
/usr/share/doc/avr-libc/man and not to /usr/lib/share... so it looks for
me like the root cause is the wrong installation path of the manpages.
Unless the maintainer reacts, I plan to NMU this package in a couple of
days. Patch is attached, however untested because the build is FTBFSing
on my workstation system. Will be investigated ASAP.
