Package: gman Version: 0.9.3-5.3 Severity: normal Hi
I've installed and tried both the normal Buster version and the most recent version (both running on Buster). I can't consistently enter a search word, e.g. 'tree' (without the quotes), and get an index of man pages. It may work. And then it won't work. And then it can start to work again. There seems to be some unknown thing going on. Furthermore, if I do get an index, only some of the items in the index display. And this is funky too. You can't simply double click. You must click to select, then click again to open. It's pretty primitive, and confusing. Also I'm seeing error messages in monitor I started it in. I would think that I should not be seeing these. (Example is below) I'm just going to uninstall. It seem this needs more work before it's ready for the repo. ------------ Some error messages I'm seeing: $ gman P sh: $'0k\317G\265\177whatis': command not found P sh: $'0k\317G\265\177whatis': command not found P sh: $'0k\317G\265\177whatis': command not found sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `|' sh: -c: line 0: `|whatis -w "*tree*" ' sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `|' sh: -c: line 0: `|whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" ' sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `|' sh: -c: line 0: `|whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" ' sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `|' sh: -c: line 0: `|whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" ' sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `|' sh: -c: line 0: `|whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" ' sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `|' sh: -c: line 0: `|whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" ' sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `|' sh: -c: line 0: `|whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*ls*" ' sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `|' sh: -c: line 0: `|whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*ls*" whatis -w "*ls*" ' sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `|' sh: -c: line 0: `|whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*ls*" whatis -w "*ls*" whatis -w "*ls*" ' sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `|' sh: -c: line 0: `|whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*ls*" whatis -w "*ls*" whatis -w "*ls*" whatis -w "*man*" ' sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `|' sh: -c: line 0: `|whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*ls*" whatis -w "*ls*" whatis -w "*ls*" whatis -w "*man*" whatis -w "*man*" ' sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `|' sh: -c: line 0: `|whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*tree*" whatis -w "*ls*" whatis -w "*ls*" whatis -w "*ls*" whatis -w "*man*" whatis -w "*man*" whatis -w "*man*" ' ^C -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.4 Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-9-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gman depends on: ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 3.30.2-2 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libgcc1 1:8.3.0-6 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.3-2+deb10u2 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.32-3 ii libstdc++6 8.3.0-6 ii man-db 2.8.5-2 ii terminator [x-terminal-emulator] 1.91-4 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 344-1 gman recommends no packages.
