Hi there,

I tried to use git ptx-patches fromwithin a package and noticed it doesn't work.
I could track down the problem to this command (from scripts/git-ptx-patches):
> man git-format-patch | grep -q -e --notes

Executing this command manually results in this error message:
> Error executing formatting or display command.
> System command (cd "/usr/share/man" && (echo ".pl 11i"; /bin/bzip2 -c -d 
> '/usr/share/man/man1/git-format-patch.1.bz2') | /usr/bin/gtbl | 
> /usr/bin/nroff -mandoc | less) exited with status 141.
> No manual entry for git-format-patch

Interestingly executing
> (cd "/usr/share/man" && (echo ".pl 11i"; /bin/bzip2 -c -d 
> '/usr/share/man/man1/git-format-patch.1.bz2') | /usr/bin/gtbl | 
> /usr/bin/nroff -mandoc | less) | grep -q -e --notes
works as expected. I have no idea what's wrong here.

Alexander
