[Bug 1893513] Re: man page of lsof command broken
** Description changed:
[Impact]
One cannot consult the 'lsof' manpage:
* Using CLI: man lsof
* Ubuntu Manpage: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search.py?q=lsof
You will notice the manpage is missing for F and G.
Workarounds would be:
* Use --help' parameter
* Use a search engine to find an 'lsof' online man page.
This has been first introduced with the new upstream release of
'4.93.2+dfsg-1'.
lsof | 4.93.2+dfsg-1 | focal
lsof | 4.93.2+dfsg-1 | groovy
[Test Case]
== CLI ==
- * On an F/G system
- * Perform: "man lsof"
+ * On an F/G system, perform "man lsof"
It will errors out as follows:
"
man: can't open /usr/share/man/./version: No such file or directory
No manual entry for lsof
"
== Ubuntu Manpage ==
* Browse the Ubuntu Manpage:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search.py?q=lsof
No 'lsof' manpage is found for F/G.
[Where problem could occur]
If a problem arise, it will only affect the lsof manpage.
The fix adds a build dependency 'groff-base'[0] that is found in 'main'
for all affected release above and pretty much at the same level of code
base.
groff-base | 1.22.4-4build1 | focal
groff-base | 1.22.4-5 | groovy
groff-base | 1.22.4-5 | hirsute
[0] - https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/manual/groff.html#man
[Other info]
In theory, I would possibly wait for the next bug fixing SRU as an
opportunity to merge that change, but according to the d/changelog,
there is not much frequent SRU(s) done for 'lsof', so we might have to
just fix 'lsof' for this particular case which can be an annoyance for
certain Ubuntu users.
The package has been fixed in Debian upstream '4.93.2+dfsg-1.1' and
auto-synced in Hirsute. It is now needing an SRU for F/G.

[Original Description]
When trying to view the manpage of lsof, this happens:
desktop ~ $ LANG=C man lsof
man: can't open /usr/share/man/./version: No such file or directory
No manual entry for lsof
The man page is present at /usr/share/man/man8/lsof.8.gz.
This: zless /usr/share/man/man8/lsof.8.gz
reveals that there is the line ".so ./version" at the beginning, with the file "version" not existing.
Other man pages don't seem to be affected.
