Package: man-db
Version: 2.4.4-4
Severity: normal
Manpaths containing a plus character ('+') are broken. They are not
searched when looking for manpages.
To reproduce:
$ mkdir man++
$ cd man++
$ mkdir man1
$ cp /usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz man1
$ man -M `pwd` man
No manual entry for man
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.
Relevant parts of -d output are:
adding /home/paul/man++ to manpathlist
*manpath search path* = /home/paul/man++
--priv_drop_count = 0
++priv_drop_count = 1
searching in /home/paul/man++, section 1
trying section 1 with globbing
Layout is GNU (1)
