Product: Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908113 --- Comment #3 from Colin Watson <cjwatson(a)ubuntu.com> --- I don't see why whatis should complain. It only looks at what's in the database, and since this parse failed it won't be in the database. Thus, not a valid test. lexgrog is the proper tool to use to test this. Please attach /usr/share/man/man3/CPAN::Debug.3pm.gz to this bug. If it doesn't contain a NAME section as Petr says, though, then this is *not* a man-db bug - the manual page must be fixed instead to be in the proper form. The requirements are not particularly onerous. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Cannot reproduce with man-db-2.6.3-2.fc18.x86_64.

I can. # mandb --test ... mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man3/CPAN::Debug.3pm.gz: whatis parse for CPAN::Debug(3pm) failed ...

...

Moreover I don't understand what's wrong on CPAN::Debug(3pm). It just does not contain NAME heading, which is maybe unfortunate, but I can do anything with it.

Please attach /usr/share/man/man3/CPAN::Debug.3pm.gz to this bug.

You can extract it from Fedora's perl-CPAN-1.9800-238.fc18.noarch rpm. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. Unsubscribe from this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/token.cgi?t=Zrx7A2y2oL&a=cc_unsubscribe

Product: Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908113 --- Comment #5 from Colin Watson <cjwatson(a)ubuntu.com> --- I asked for an attachment since I don't use Fedora (I'm an upstream author helping out here) and it's a pain to dig out Fedora packages and extract things from them. But anyway, now that I've done that, this is clearly a bug in the perl-CPAN package; mandb is entirely justified in issuing a warning about this broken page.

I asked for an attachment since I don't use Fedora

I didn't know - Sorry.

But anyway, now that I've done that, this is clearly a bug in the perl-CPAN package;

Are you sure? CPAN::Debug.3pm is pod2man generated, so at least I would not want to exclude it's a more general bug in pod2man rsp. its infrastructure. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
