Bug Description

Binary package hint: man2html

[running up-to-date jaunty 9.04]

Clicking on a "See Also:" entry at the bottom of a manpage -- which is potentially one of the best features of a web-based man lookup, formats the URI string as:

"http://localhost/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+setfacl"
which just displays the top-level search page.

Contrariwise, searching for the same command from the top-level formats:
"http://localhost/cgi-bin/man/man2html?query=setfacl"
It appears the failure is lack of the "query=" string in the URI.

This bug was fixed in the package man2html - 1.6g-7

---------------
man2html (1.6g-7) unstable; urgency=low

  * utils.c: Fix querystring2argv() to create argv in case man2html and
    manwhatis scripts are run on http server (like lighttpd) that fails
    to do it by its own (closes: #729549, #630530, LP: #389582).
  * man2html.cron.weekly: set proper permissions for generated index
    file (closes: #729548).
  * manwhatis.c: Fix format string warnings (closes: #672821).
  * Refresh debian/patches with `gpb pq import; gbp pq export'.
  * Add 034-UTF8-charset.patch: set charset in `Content-type' header
    to UTF-8 (LP: #873102).
  * mansearch, utils.h: set `Content-type' charset to UTF-8 as well.
  * Switch build system to debhelper v9 and its tiny rules file:
    + make sure debian default CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and LDFLAGS are
      properly handled;
    + add support for cross-compiling;
    + ensure parallel builds work (closes: #653424);
    + enable LFS support (lintian).
  * Standards-Version: 3.9.5 (no changes).
