Package: man-db Version: 2.6.5-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The man page for man says that "MANPAGER ... may not use pipes to connect multiple commands". I think that this is an inconvenient restriction. And it seems that man on Mac OS X does not have such a restriction. I'm wondering whether you can allow man to accept pipes. Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers saucy-updates APT policy: (500, 'saucy-updates'), (500, 'saucy-security'), (500, 'saucy'), (100, 'saucy-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.11.0-15-generic (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages man-db depends on: ii bsdmainutils 9.0.5ubuntu1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.50ubuntu1 ii dpkg 1.16.12ubuntu1 ii groff-base 1.22.2-3 ii libc6 2.17-93ubuntu4 ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-12build1 ii libpipeline1 1.2.4-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1ubuntu1 man-db recommends no packages.
