Subject: manpages outdated compared to package

Date: Mon, 20 Sep 2021 18:05:14 +0300

Package: manpages.debian.org
Severity: important

Hello,

The manpage resize2fs(8) shows versions:

bullseye       1.46.2-2
testing        1.46.2-2
unstable       1.46.2-2
experimental   1.46.3-1

whereas:

$ rmadison e2fsprogs
[...]
e2fsprogs  | 1.46.2-2         | stable                  | source, amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x
e2fsprogs  | 1.46.4-1         | testing                 | source, amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x
e2fsprogs  | 1.46.4-1         | unstable                | source, amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x

(nothing for experimental)

Maybe there's some update needed following the release of bullseye?

Kind regards,
Andrei

Something similar is happening (as of 2022-12-09) with the manpages of 
dh-nss.

https://manpages.debian.org/testing/dh-nss/dh_installnss.1.en.html says 
that the version of dh-nss in testing is 1.6, while 1.7 has been 
migrated to testing more than a month ago.

Perhaps there is an issue in the way apt-cacher-ng fetches the repositories?

manpages.d.o doesn't use apt-cacher-ng at all, but has access to an NFS
mount of a full mirror.

I believe the issues described here are the result of
https://github.com/Debian/debiman/issues/181 , so updating metadata
accordingly.

Adam
