Hi,
Lintian is giving us a warning about a powercom.8 man page
nut: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man8/powercom.8.gz 114: warning
[p 2, 2.5i]: can't break line
I guess this should be fixed upstream
Cheers
Laurent Bigonville
W: nut: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man8/powercom.8.gz 114:
warning [p 2, 2.5i]: can't break line
N:
N: This man page provokes warnings or errors from man.
N:
N: "cannot adjust" or "can't break" are trouble with paragraph filling,
N: usually related to long lines. Adjustment can be helped by left
N: justifying, breaks can be helped with hyphenation, see "Manipulating
N: Filling and Adjusting" and "Manipulating Hyphenation" in the manual.
N:
N: "can't find numbered character" usually means latin1 etc in the input,
N: and this warning indicates characters will be missing from the output.
N: You can change to escapes like \[:a] described on the groff_char man
N: page.
N:
N: Other warnings are often formatting typos, like missing quotes around
N: a string argument to .IP. These are likely to result in lost or
N: malformed output. See the groff_man (or groff_mdoc if using mdoc) man
N: page for information on macros.
N:
N: This test uses man's --warnings option to enable groff warnings that
N: catch common mistakes, such as putting . or ' characters at the start
N: of a line when they are intended as literal text rather than groff
N: commands. This can be fixed either by reformatting the paragraph so
N: that these characters are not at the start of a line, or by adding a
N: zero-width space (\&) immediately before them.
N:
N: At worst, warning messages can be disabled with the .warn directive,
N: see "Debugging" in the groff manual.
N:
N: To test this for yourself you can use the following command:
N: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 MANWIDTH=80 man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l <file> >/dev/null
N:
N: Severity: normal, Certainty: certain
