Try [EMAIL PROTECTED] BTW, Marcus, the version of groff currently in hurd-i386 is sufficiently broken that it can't build XFree86, which may cause you problems (the build dependency is unstated). You might want to upgrade that fairly soon to 1.17.2-5 or the 1.17.2-6 in incoming, if you haven't already. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
