Package: man-db
Version: 2.5.2-3
Severity: minor
How to reproduce: set your terminal width to 81+ lines, then compare
formatting in outputs of commands
'man dpkg'
and
'zcat /usr/share/man/man1/dpkg.1.gz | man -l -'.
Latter command doesn't use
all terminal width despite output is tty and other interactive command
(e.g. search) work.
Debug info:
-8<-
$ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/dpkg.1.gz | man --debug -l -
