Bug#1033509: manpages.debian.org: testing/polkitd/polkit.8.en.html has outdated content
Package: manpages.debian.org
Severity: important
This might well have the same root cause as #986030, but I'm reporting it
as a separate bug because I want to link to bookworm's polkit(8) in text
that I'm contributing to the bookworm release notes, and the HTML currently
displayed for that version is misleading.
To reproduce:
0. Precondition: src:policykit-1 has the following polkit(8) man pages:
- bullseye, 0.105-31+deb11u1: an old version dated January 2009
- bookworm, 122-3: a new version dated February 2021
- unstable, 122-3: identical to bookworm
1. Visit https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/policykit-1/polkit.8.en.html
2. and https://manpages.debian.org/testing/polkitd/polkit.8.en.html
3. and https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/polkitd/polkit.8.en.html
Expected result:
1. bullseye man page is the old version dated January 2009, which mentions
pklocalauthority(8)
2. bookworm man page is the new version dated February 2021, which no
longer mentions pklocalauthority(8), but does mention JavaScript, and
has an AUTHORIZATION RULES section
3. unstable man page is also the new version dated February 2021
Actual result:
1. As expected. The "other versions" sidebar and the footer say that it is
from polkitd_0.105-31+deb11u1.
2. The sidebar and footer claim that the man page is from polkitd_122-2
(even though unstable is now at 122-3), but the HTML content is the
old 2009 version (same as bullseye).
- The text content of https://manpages.debian.org/testing/polkitd/polkit.8.en.gz
*is* the correct 2021 version, though. Perhaps the generated HTML was
cached and needs some cache invalidation to be regenerated?
3. As expected. The unstable man page has the correct February 2021 content.
