man page wont load [FS#13067]

I am having a strange problem with a specific manual page:

daf666@pazuzu ~ $ man indent
fgets: No such file or directory
Error reading man page /usr/share/man/man1/indent.1.gz
No manual entry for indent

any ideas?

I've had a look at the /usr/share/man/man1/indent.1.gz package, and it's
an empty document. That's your problem. This will get you going:

Sounds like a packaging issue.  File a bug report.
