Hi,

It's a long-recurring issue: as long as the git testsuite is not
fixed, whenever a newer git upstream is uploaded to unstable, there
comes a conflict between the git binary and its manpage. You can fetch
the git-man package version corresponding to the git version from
snapshot.debian.org
Whenever somebody fixes the last issue of the git testsuite, the problem
will go away.
as I wrote, a bell rung in my head... and I reported this issue years
ago on sparc!
I suppose this is the open issue:
https://bugs-devel.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=933402
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/git/1%3A2.50.1-0.1/
If it happens to others:
wget
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20250731T022852Z/pool/main/g/git/git-man_2.50.1-0.1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i git-man_2.50.1-0.1_all.deb
sudo apt-get install git
That worked!
