[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
The 'man' program from the 'man-db' Guix package has an issue with UTF-8
man pages: the page is truncated and sometimes the truncation is
repeated a couple of times.

The bug does not occur when non-ASCII characters are removed.
I haven't tried with other non-ASCII encodings.

There must be something wrong with the way we package man-db.

See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2018-05/msg00084.html
for a discussion.
