Description Ken Raeburn 2025-08-19 23:56:10 UTC
The man pages for python3-mypy look like a Python stack trace with nroff markup added. The other man page in the package, stubgen, is similarly broken.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install python3-mypy
2. run "man mypy"
3.
Actual Results:
MYPY(1)                                               User Commands                                               MYPY(1)

NAME
       mypy - manual page for mypy 1.17.1-dev

DESCRIPTION
   Traceback (most recent call last):
              File "/builddir/build/BUILD/python3-mypy-1.17.1-build/BUILDROOT/usr/bin/mypy", line 33, in <module>

              sys.exit(load_entry_point('mypy==1.17.1', 'console_scripts', 'mypy')())
...

Expected Results:
A normal man page

Additional Information:
If help2man is supposed to detect errors when running "foo --help/--version" then maybe there's a help2man bug here too. But either way, it appears mypy was run without the "pathspec" module available for import, resulting in the stack trace. (Workaround: Run "mypy --help" since that seems to be where the man page info would've come from anyway.)
