I'm running LinuxMint Debian. It splits groff into two packages: groff-base -- minimal install; sufficient to format manpages groff -- everything else from a groff distribution Currently installed version is 1.22.2; it has both manpages installed: $ man -w gropdf pdfmom /usr/share/man/man1/gropdf.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/pdfmom.1.gz So ... seems like Debian got it right; if Gentoo is missing these, then it would seem to be a Gentoo bug. -- Regards, Keith.
