Package: rdtool
Version: 0.6.34-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hello and thanks for maintaining rdtool in Debian!
I found a case where rd2 seems to produce a badly formed man page
(when run with ruby1.8).
I prepared a minimal test case to reproduce the bug.
$ tar xvf frob_man_page.tar.gz
frob
frob.1
In this example, frob.1 is obtained on my system from frob with the
following command:
$ ruby1.8 /usr/bin/rd2 -r rd/rd2man-lib.rb -o frob frob
/usr/bin/rd2: output to frob.1...
If displayed with man
$ man ./frob.1
the fake man page shows a spurious .TP at the end of the line
'To exit, use the special line "STOP".'
The successive option (-d) is wrongly indented.
Applying the following patch to frob.1 seems to cure the problem
for the output man page:
