Package: libseccomp2
Version: 2.5.1-1~bpo10+1
Severity: important
When installing libseccomp2 on a buster system, the man command breaks (or
rather, its use of the /usr/lib/man-db/manconv utility):
$ man man > /dev/null; echo $?
man: /usr/lib/man-db/manconv: Bad system call
man: command exited with status 127: (cd /usr/share/man &&
/usr/lib/man-db/zsoelim) | (cd /usr/share/man && /usr/lib/man-db/manconv -f
UTF-8:ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8//IGNORE) | (cd /usr/share/man && preconv -e UTF-8) |
(cd /usr/share/man && tbl) | (cd /usr/share/man && nroff -mandoc -rLL=195n

You can work around this issue by setting MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP=1:
$ MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP=1 man man > /dev/null; echo $?
0
Downgrading libseccomp2 to 2.3.3-4 (current version in buster) makes the issue
go away again.

Closing as buster is no longer supported.
By now even LTS support expired but note that LTS does not cover backports.
