Bug Description
Imported from Debian bug http://
Source: timew
Version: 1.5.0+ds.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
In response to https:/
the mandb program in man-db 2.12.0 to issue a warning if it's run
without the -u/--user-db option but doesn't have the necessary
permissions to write to system databases. This caused timew's
autopkgtests to fail due to the extra text on stderr. The following
patch fixes it.
