with Guix on Debian (git commit 464f5447396fcec9b43f7eab71d5d42b522a157f),
I am not seeing this problem:
$ man 5 knot.conf | grep -E '^(NAME|DESCRIPTION)'
NAME
DESCRIPTION
and no stderr. This uses the "man" binary from Debian (/usr/bin/man) and
/gnu/store/a9w7mm0mrgrakl9khmi91ybp34ly4iqc-knot-2.6.5/share/man/man5/knot.conf.5.gz
What is your distribution? Could it be that the problem is in the "man" binary and
not in the man page?
Actually, also this does work:
$ /gnu/store/kh2av28w5rd3fbidqssp0fzv661hb9l5-man-db-2.7.6.1/bin/man 5 knot.conf | grep -E '^(NAME|DESCRIPTION)'
NAME
DESCRIPTION
Maybe your store is corrupted?
Or did I misunderstand the problem?
Andreas
