Hello.

While building (the Debian package of) groff 1.24.1 in a Debian unstable chroot,
I got this error:

 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ../../tmac/tty.tmac ../../tmac/tty-char.tmac 
'/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/share/groff/1.24.1/tmac'
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ../../tmac/tty.tmac ../../tmac/tty-char.tmac 
'/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/share/groff/1.24.1/tmac'
install: cannot create regular file 
'/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/share/groff/1.24.1/tmac/tty.tmac': File exists

Seems like a race condition to me, where one "install -c" tries to
work at the same time the other is *still* writing to the same file.

I believe this is the origin of those two threads:

- Target dist_grottytmac_DATA in src/devices/grotty/grotty.am lines 26-30 
(unconditional)
- Target dist_gxditviewtmac_DATA in src/devices/xditview/xditview.am lines 
63-67 (conditional)

So I guess one of the two should be dropped.

Thanks.
