[Pkg-pascal-devel] Bug#954676: pasdoc: FTBFS: dh_installman: error: Could not determine section for ./pasdoc.1

[Michalis Kamburelis]

The PasDoc manpage in Debian is done using

help2man --output=pasdoc.1 --name="documentation tool for Pascal source code" \
     --no-info bin/pasdoc

Do we know what the message "Could not determine section for" means,
or how to investigate it? I mean, this manpage should go to section 1
("User Commands"), which is indicated both by the filename "pasdoc.1"
and by text inside "pasdoc(1)". Why does the dh_installman not catch
it?

If necessary, I can easily create a proper manpage upstream (that
would be available in our repository, without the need for help2man),
I just need to know what is exactly required / necessary to avoid :)

Regards,
Michalis
