commit 36b265f969f1c53a2e6af02ec07c38520b16b67e
Author: Helmut Grohne <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Fri Jan 2 12:15:19 2026 +0000
[libgroff]: Fix Savannah #67886.
* src/libs/libgroff/libgroff.am (install_charset_data): Don't ship a
"charset.alias" file if it's empty or contains nothing but comments.
Such files, a common product of certain gnulib internals, aggrieve a
Debian's packaging assistance tool.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?67886>.
