Bug#320471: man-db 2.4.3-1 truncating man pages?

[Wolfgang Pfeiffer <roto@gmx.net>]

Package: man-db
Version: 2.4.3-1
Severity: normal

Hi

Some man pages can not be read in full length: This happened in an
xterm and on console: man pbbuttonsd.conf can be seen in full length
when opened by root, whereas the same page can be seen only in parts
when opened by a non-root user.

Sometimes man curl can't be read in full length either by root (on console) or a
non-root user (on X and console), and it can be read in full by su- root in an xterm, but not
by a non-root user in an xterm ...


While writing this message I downgraded man-db from 2.4.3-1 to
2.4.2-23, and the problem seems to be solved:

aptitude install man-db=2.4.2-23

Thanks for listening.

Best Regards
Wolfgang
