Package: debian-goodies Version: 0.71 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/dman X-Debbugs-CC: Antoine Beaupré <anar...@debian.org>, debian-...@lists.debian.org
dman currently reports an error when I try to use it to read its own manual page, because it defaults to stretch with no fallback. There are several situations where it would be nice to be able to automatically fall back to the manual page from a different suite: * where the package is only in a newer suite: * when using stable and it was first uploaded after the release * when using unstable and it was uploaded during the freeze * where the package was removed from unstable recently, is still in use on a remote system running stable but dman is run on an unstable system I expect this will probably need support on the server side? If so, please clone this bug to the manpages.debian.org package. pabs@chianamo ~ $ dman dman /usr/bin/dman: A download error occurred.
