After zfgrepping through all installed man pages on three Jessie/Sid installations of mine, I've just found my own package "wml" as affected package. I also noticed that only wml packages in Wheezy and later are affected and that this behaviour was introduced by patch of mine (debian/patches/fix-WML_VERSION-in-manpage.diff[1]) which fixed #652567[2]. [1] https://sources.debian.net/src/wml/2.4.0ds1-1/debian/patches/fix-WML_VERSION-in-manpage.diff/ [2] http://bugs.debian.org/652567 Debian Code Search though shows a bunch of packages more[3], partially also only documenting to use pod2man in a pipe. Most of them though use either -n or --name. [3] http://codesearch.debian.net/results/%5C%7C%20pod2man I'm cloning this bug report for those additional cases I've found where pod2man is used in a pipe but without -n or --name: * config-edit(1p) of libconfig-model-perl currently recommends: To get man pages or text docuement, you can pipe the output of the command: config-edit -model Popcon -doc | pod2man > popcon-conf.3 * "fvwm-perllib man" (of the fvwm package) uses pod2man in a pipe to dynamically generate and show man pages. They also show the object reference in the first line of the generated man page: IO::File=IO(0x19e6820)(3) Fvwm Perl library IO::File=IO(0x19e6820)(3) Regards, Axel -- ,''`. | Axel Beckert <[email protected]>, http://people.debian.org/~abe/ : :' : | Debian Developer, ftp.ch.debian.org Admin `. `' | 4096R: 2517 B724 C5F6 CA99 5329 6E61 2FF9 CD59 6126 16B5 `- | 1024D: F067 EA27 26B9 C3FC 1486 202E C09E 1D89 9593 0EDE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
