Package: man-db
Version: 2.8.6.1-1
Severity: minor

The undocumented(7) man page was removed 3 years ago:

  manpages (4.04-2) unstable; urgency=medium
  
    ... strip other changelog entries ...

    * Remove obsolete manpage undocumented.7.
      This manpage was provided in order to comply with an ancient
      policy version. The manpage is no longer needed since Nov 2002.
      Closes: #506653, LP:#426359

but man-db stil refers to it:

  robert@vox:/tmp$ /usr/bin/man -L C 8 test
  No manual entry for test in section 8
  See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.



Regards,
robert

PS. It looks like  ancient bug #32019 ('man-db: Move undocumented(7) from 
manpages to
     man-db') might be no longer relevant.
