I had seen this problem as well with many dpkg man pages, but did not have the time to check what might have regressed, now found this report. After reading it, and checking further I guess this can happen as well to any pod2man generated man page, for example as(1), or perl itself in for example perlrun(1). > I believe Russ fixed this 2-3 months ago in podlators Git. > > https://github.com/rra/podlators/commit/e099fdf3fa07014e3df6a476242e2484b577c3d1 > > Background: > https://github.com/rra/podlators/issues/43 > https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/21239 Hmm, this seems unrelated though? Or I don't understand the relation between CW/CR and .IP? (Just in case, I tried to call pod2man with --fixed=CR but that did not seem to fix this problem?) I tried my system pod2man with PERL5LIB pointing to the Pod modules from git, and that didn't fix anything, so it appears like this is not fixed yet (and might have never been reported upstream?), but maybe I botched my testing process. I didn't see anything obvious related to .IP in «git log» (besides the justification fixes). So I think it would be nice to apply the man.local workaround posted in this report to the Debian groff package, until at least pod2man has been fixed and included as part of a Perl release in Debian? What do you think Colin? Thanks, Guillem
