Package: man-db Version: 2.5.2-3 Severity: minor How to reproduce: set your terminal width to 81+ lines, then compare formatting in outputs of commands
'man dpkg' and 'zcat /usr/share/man/man1/dpkg.1.gz | man -l -'. Latter command doesn't use all terminal width despite output is tty and other interactive command (e.g. search) work. Debug info: -8<- $ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/dpkg.1.gz | man --debug -l - ruid=1000, euid=1000 ++priv_drop_count = 1 >From the config file /etc/manpath.config: Mandatory mandir `/usr/man'.
