Ah yes, sorry for missing this. Running strace on abel, it looks like clock_gettime64 is the offending syscall, which means that https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/man-db.git/commit/?id=7315a9475d8fa37af49e9e7ed11e1534f23ef70b should fix this; I've tested that on abel and it seems to do the job. The upstream changes since 2.9.3 are not otherwise especially intrusive (mostly new translations), so I think I'll deal with this by doing a new upstream release and packaging that. I'm working on that now. -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@debian.org]
