Package: libcommon-sense-perl
Version: 3.74-1+b3
Severity: minor

Hash: SHA1

I've confirmed with debsums that the checksum is OK, so this doesn't
appear to be a local issue.

Typing 'man common::sense' gives:

^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hlibcommon-sense-perl-3.74::debian::libcommon-sense-perl::usr::lib::x86i64-linux-gnu::perl5::5.24::common::sense(3pm)x-gnu::perl5::5.24::common::sense(3pm)

NAME
       common::sense - save a tree AND a kitten, use common::sense!

Except those ^H are in standout, presumably they're actually control-H.

zless /usr/share/man/man3/common::sense.3pm.gz confirms the title is at
least corrupted:

.IX Title "libcommon-sense-perl-3.74::debian::libcommon-sense-perl::usr::lib::x86_64-linux-gnu::perl5::5.24::common::sense 3pm"
.TH libcommon-sense-perl-3.74::debian::libcommon-sense-perl::usr::lib::x86_64-linux-gnu::perl5::5.24::common::sense 3pm "2015-08-19" "perl v5.24.1" "User Contributed Perl Documentation"

And debsums is OK:
