Lintian tag: python-traceback-in-manpage

Type: error

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The specified manual page contains a Python traceback.

This was probably caused by a call to help2man failing to correctly
execute, likely due to an missing or incorrect PYTHONPATH environment
variable.

Note that calls to generate manpages from binaries may succeed if the
package being built is already installed in the build environment as might
locate potentially old copy of the program under /usr/lib/python3. This is
fairly common on maintainers' machines, for example. However, in
environments where the package is not installed (such as most buildds),
generating the manpage may fail and inject a traceback into the manual
page.
