Ah, this is potato! > frost->jleonard% man vi > Reformatting vi(1), please wait... > [blank screen in the pager] > sh: ../debian/tmp/usr/bin/zsoelim: No such file or directory Yes, I can reproduce this on a potato system. I'm not sure how to cope with this; I guess I could upload to "stable", and hope it gets into proposed-updates; however, I recall one of the ftp-masters writing that proposed-updates should go away... The point is that potato is "stable", meaning nothing really gets changed there. Aargh, man-db got installed as a security-fix a couple of days ago. Whoever Somehow the alpha package must have been botched (the i386 package is OK). I'll have a look at fixing this for potato. > It only generates the zsoelim message once for each man page looked at, though > installing a man-db package resets that. My best guess would be that man-db It only generates a manpage if there isn't one in the cache. Apparently even with the error a file (possibly empty) is created. > I suspect that the vim-gtk was built on a system that didn't have gtk > installed at the time, so the configure step built a non-graphical vim. Build-Depends should help against that in the future... > user unaligned acc : 39158409 (pc=12004e170,va=1203801d2) Ouch, that's a lot... Anyway, it might be recommendable to upgrade to "testing", which is quite usable IMHO. At least there things can be fixed easily.
