Package: lintian Version: 2.2.14 Severity: normal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Hi
I'm not sure how to debug this issue, but lintian is complaining about
some errors in man pages, where I'm unable to get same errors from man.
The problematic thing is line adjustment:
W: rpm: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man8/rpmbuild.8.gz 85:
warning [p 2, 0.0i]: cannot adjust line
I've added patch to add \: at several places, what should ensure that
groff is able to adjust he line and it actually is able, but I still get
the warning from lintian even though man does not complain anymore:
$ LANG=C man --warnings -l /usr/share/man/man8/rpmbuild.8.gz >/dev/null
$
There must be some difference how lintian does the man page checks,
which makes it warn in cases when it probably should not.
The questioned man page is attached to this bug report or in package rpm
in case you want to test it.
