Package: gdb
Version: 7.11.1-2
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
After installing the `gdb` package, I could not find a man page:
$ man gdb
No manual entry for gdb
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.
It would be nice to have any, so I'm filing this bug as per Debian Policy,
Section 12.1 [0]. Judging from Bug #624452 and Bug #454135, a man page existed
once.
[0]: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s12.1
Cheers,
Roland

Thanks for your report, however note that GDB manual page ships in gdb-doc
package in the non-free section as it is not DFSG-license compliant.
