(gdb) print *decomp
$2 = {ncommands = 0, commands_max = 4, commands = 0x814cc60, pids = 0x0, statuses = 0x0, 
  want_in = 0, want_out = -1, 
  want_infile = 0x8076c30 "/nfs/local/intel/composerxe-2011.0.084/man/en_US/man1/ifort.1",

Looks like it can't handle uncompressed man pages?

Comment 4 Ivana Varekova 2010-11-24 14:51:25 UTC
Hello, I was not able to reproduce this problem, can you please attach here the output of 
man --debug ifort 
command?

Comment 6 Colin Watson 2010-12-02 13:06:03 UTC
I fixed this bug in man-db 2.5.8.  Here's the NEWS file entry:

        o Fix assertion failure on 'man -l' with an uncompressed page and
          any of --no-hyphenation, --no-justification, or a non-English
          page.

(Although I imprecisely wrote "non-English" here, the "en_US" in the path in this case is enough to trigger the bug.)

If you'd like to backport the fix rather than upgrading to 2.5.8 or newer, you should be able to use the patch in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/man-db/trunk/revision/1199 on top of 2.5.7.

Comment 7 Colin Dean 2010-12-15 13:44:28 UTC
The same symptoms occur viewing any NetApp Data Ontap man pages from Fedora 14.  The above patch applies cleanly to 2.5.7 source RPM and fixes the problem.

Comment 10 Ivana Varekova 2011-01-04 14:40:13 UTC
Thanks a lot Colin for your investigation.
In rawhide there is man-db-2.5.9 thus the problem is fixed, in fc14 the patch is in man-db-2.5.7-7.fc14 which was just submitted.

Comment 11 Fedora Update System 2011-01-08 21:26:59 UTC
man-db-2.5.7-7.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
