I've seen it on several other man pages now, at least: dpkg-deb(1), locale(1), mlocate(1). I've checked if this was maybe due to some zlib problem, but gunzipping and running “man -l” on the file shows it truncated too. Checked too if it's maybe a groff problem, but running with something like “groff -mman -a” shows it fine. So reassigning here, as it seems the most appropriate place, but it might be something else, it might also be related to 562503, but cannot tell. The severity might need to be higher too, as it makes man-db a bit unhelpful. :) regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
