I currently patch around this with: sed "s/^\.BI \(.*\)\"c$/.BI \1\"/" | sed "s/^\.BR \(.*\)\"c$/.BI \1\"/" However, po4a is about to get fixed (Martin told me (#1036826) he intends to release later this month). So maybe we wait a few weeks and potentially this bug can be closed without any further action from your side.

reassign 1036908 whois 5.5.17 retitle 1036908 whois: Broken use of \c in man page thanks Hi Helge, Sorry for the late reply. It seems to me that you've reported this bug to the wrong package. mkpasswd(1) where you've found the bug is from the whois package, and not from the expect one. I'm reassigning it.

Bug#1036908: expect: Broken use of \c in man page
Package: expect Severity: minor Tags: upstream Dear Debian expect maintainer Kindly forward this to upstream, I don't know where to report this (see also #1036463). The usage of \c is in mkpasswd(1) is incorrect. It fails when trying to use po4a to provide translations of the man pages. Im currently "patching around this" in manpages-l10n. For a full explanation of the problem (the man page is different, but the problem is the same) see Debian #1036826 and the explanations by Bjarni, especially in message #25. It would be great if you could fix this so that manpages-l10n can remove our workaround, which slows down our build. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.0 APT prefers testing-security APT policy: (500, 'testing-security'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE.UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages expect depends on: ii libc6 2.36-9 ii libtcl8.6 8.6.13+dfsg-2 pn tcl-expect ii tcl8.6 8.6.13+dfsg-2 expect recommends no packages.
