Package: python3-docutils
Version: 0.19+dfsg-7
Severity: normal

Dear maintainers,

lintian issues the following warning for the ch-run man page of the
charliecloud-runtime package:

W: charliecloud-runtime: groff-message an.tmac:<standard input>:676: warning: 
tbl preprocessor failed, or it or soelim was not run; table(s) likely not 
rendered (TE macro called with TW register undefined) 
[usr/share/man/man1/ch-run.1.gz:1]

This man page is built using sphinx-build which in turn uses
python3-docutils to generate the man page. Therefore I think that the
underlying issue is caused by python3-docutils.

This issue was already discussed on debian-devel and after applying the
patch suggested on [0] the warning disappears when calling

LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 MANROFFSEQ='' MANWIDTH=80 man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l -Tutf8 -Z 
/usr/share/man/man1/ch-run.1.gz >/dev/null

But unfortunately new warnings show up:

troff:<standard input>:598: warning [p 7, 2.2i, div '3tbd3,0', 0.0i]: cannot 
adjust line
troff:<standard input>:602: warning [p 7, 2.2i, div '3tbd3,2', 0.0i]: cannot 
adjust line
troff:<standard input>:606: warning [p 7, 2.2i, div '3tbd4,0', 0.0i]: cannot 
adjust line
troff:<standard input>:610: warning [p 7, 2.2i, div '3tbd4,2', 0.0i]: cannot 
adjust line

Best regards,

Peter
