[Bug 2092673] Re: minimized system: `man` returns exit code 0

[Simon Poirier]

Not a bug in man-db. This is purely related to minimized images and the
fact that man pages are not installed, and that the man command diverted
by livecd-rootfs.

** Changed in: man-db (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

** Also affects: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New
