Hi Ben R, sorry to pester you again, but your version extraction code doesn't work on recent xfree86 versions compiled from cvs.

They introduced an extra "\" in the man page version line. Instead of

.TH DPSEXEC 1 Version 4.2.1.1 XFree86

you now get

.TH DPSEXEC 1 Version\ 4.3.99.10 XFree86

This was introduced in the xfree86 cvs sources in the file xc/config/cf/xfre86.cf in two steps, first for snapshots (4-level version numbers like 4.2.99.2) and then also for releases (3-level version numbers). The latter was introduced after the release of 4.3.0, so it won't be visible until 4.4.0 (or maybe 4.3.1, if there will be such a thing).

Installing system-xfree86-43, I get the line

- XFree86 version: /usr/X11R6/man/man1/bdftruncate.1:.TH bdftruncate 1 Version\ 4.3.99.10 XFree86 XFree86

This "Version\ " outsmarts your perl replace script.
