Hi, the change introduced with https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?68207 doesn't
work as intended when `pdfroff` is present.
my $pdfroff=`which pdfroff 2>/dev/null`;
creates variable which includes trailing newline, which causes the subsequent
call to fail with:
sh: line 2: -mpdfmark: not found
Also, there is likely unexpected `-` after `from:` in the error message:
pdfmom.pl: fatal error: Since version 1.24.0 of groff, the pdfmark files
(including pdfroff)
are no longer included with groff. They can be seprately downloaded from:-
