It's a long-recurring issue: as long as the git testsuite is not fixed, whenever a newer git upstream is uploaded to unstable, there comes a conflict between the git binary and its manpage. You can fetch the git-man package version corresponding to the git version from snapshot.debian.org Whenever somebody fixes the last issue of the git testsuite, the problem will go away.
as I wrote, a bell rung in my head... and I reported this issue years ago on sparc!
I suppose this is the open issue: https://bugs-devel.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=933402 http://snapshot.debian.org/package/git/1%3A2.50.1-0.1/ If it happens to others:wget http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20250731T022852Z/pool/main/g/git/git-man_2.50.1-0.1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i git-man_2.50.1-0.1_all.deb sudo apt-get install git That worked! Riccardo
