Package: man-db Version: 2.7.5-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
man -K searches the nroff source, not the formatted manpages. Because of that "man -K california" gives a lot of hits (for commands like more, rev, whereis, ...) whose manpages don't contain the string "california" (it is contained in comments in the nroff source). This problematic behavior is not described in man(1). -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages man-db depends on: ii bsdmainutils 9.0.6 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii dpkg 1.17.25 ii groff-base 1.22.2-8 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-13.1 ii libpipeline1 1.4.0-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 man-db recommends no packages.
