This should potentially be rewritten to use scripts/native-intercepts, which I forgot existed However this doesn't remove all versions. I suspect the remaining versions come from builds that are using the host perl and the Pod module directly instead of pod2man. I'm not sure how to solve this. 85659 2 ross.burton 2019-11-28 16:44:04 +0000 *** Bug 13661 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 85661 3 ross.burton 2019-11-28 16:44:35 +0000 *** Bug 13633 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 85864 4 ross.burton 2019-12-19 16:01:29 +0000 Looks like we fixed this with e3d5f55c3e07eb6f99f25f25885a45c495b6647a which removes the reproducible problems in pod2man.
