Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.13
Severity: normal
Hello,
a fancy man page has this little section here (actually many of these sections
and the package (torque) has many man pages, hence the bug is not minor) :
..if !\n(Pb .ig Ig
..ft 6
..IP "\&\s-1\\$1\s+1\f1"
..Ig
..if \n(Pb .ig Ig
..ft 2
..IP "\&\\$1\s+1\f1"
..Ig
...
which means that the block may be skipped.
lintian does not get it but warns about .Ig being an undefined macro - it is
not. It is the end of the comment.
Cheers,
Steffen

Per the bug discussion, the warning comes from groff, so this isn't a
Lintian bug. Based on Colin's follow-up, it sounds like this is indeed a
bug in the man page in the package. Closing this bug accordingly.
