Description

From http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2006-March/056409.html

There is a test suite for Man-DB but it is in a separate download and requires DejaGnu. DejaGnu is available at this point in Chapter 6. Should we provide instructions to download and run the test suite?

Yes!

Added note that there is no testsuite in r7582.

This won't get it. We need to explain that there *is* a testsuite and we either provide instructions to run it, or explain why we are blowing it off.

Simply saying it doesn't come with one, is a stretch at best.

When you find the testsuite, re-open this bug. Until then, read the GNUMakefile that says there isn't one.
