Package: man-db
Version: 2.4.3-3
Severity: minor

man latches on to 'lib*' as a section name (*** below), even though
this is unlisted on the table on the man man page, where only
numerical sections are mentioned.

# man -w hal nethogs  cdck cedilla remote-tty advancecomp \
edos-debcheck gpscorrelate libmail-box-perl glibc-doc-reference \
phpmyadmin mailman
No manual entry for hal
/usr/share/man/man8/nethogs.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/cdck.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/cedilla.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/remote-tty.1.gz
No manual entry for advancecomp
/usr/share/man/man1/edos-debcheck.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/gpscorrelate.1.gz
No manual entry for glibc-doc-reference in section libmail-box-perl ***
No manual entry for phpmyadmin in section libmail-box-perl ***
No manual entry for mailman in section libmail-box-perl ***

strace shows open() on e.g., /usr/share/man/manlibmail-box-perl

I must do this to see what I want:

# man -w libmail-box-perl; man -w hal nethogs cdck cedilla remote-tty \
advancecomp edos-debcheck gpscorrelate glibc-doc-reference \
phpmyadmin mailman
