Hi,

I just went to build Lintian for a release but got:

  [..]
  # docbook does not set a charset and we rely on UTF-8.  Make this explicit to avoid #802721
  find doc/lintian.html/ -type f -name '*.html' -exec perl -pe 's/(<TITLE[\s\r\n])/<meta charset="UTF-8">$1/' -i {} +
  mkdir -p man/man1/ man/man3/
  private/generate-lintian-pod | \
          pod2man --center "Debian Package Checker" --release "Lintian v2.5.117" --name lintian --section=1 > man/man1/lintian.1
  set -e ; for POD in man/lintian-lab-tool.pod man/lintian-info.pod man/spellintian.pod ; do \
          BASENAME=$(basename "$POD" .pod) ; \
          pod2man --center "Debian Package Checker" --release "Lintian v2.5.117" --section=1 "$POD" > "man/man1/$BASENAME".1 ; \
  done
  set -e ; for POD in $(find doc/tutorial lib/Lintian lib/Test -type f '!' -path '*/Internal/*' '!' -path '*/Output/*' '!' -path '*/Tag/TextUtil.pm'  ) ; do \
          BASENAME=$(echo "$POD" | perl -pe 's@^(doc/tutorial|lib)/@@; s@/@::@g; s/\.(pod|pm)$//') ; \
          pod2man --center "Debian Package Checker" --release "Lintian v2.5.117" --name="$BASENAME" --section=3 "$POD" > "man/man3/$BASENAME".3 ; \
  done
  pod2man: unable to format lib/Test/State.pm

Felix, can you help? I suspect it was something in this commit:
