Hi I have attached a patch that resolves this hyphen encoding error. I verified the fix on a clean Ubuntu 24.04 instance (Oracle Cloud) to ensure it wasn't specific to my local environment.
The binary hex dumps now confirm the output contains the correct escaped sequence (\-) rather than a hard hyphen. I also checked the groff intermediate output to verify it is explicitly using the semantic minus glyph (C\-), which clears up the hyphen-used-as-minus-sign lintian warning. You can find the full verification log, including the raw reproduction steps and hex output, in my repo here: https://github.com/YIN- Renlong/ubuntu-launchpad-patch-log/tree/main/docbook-utils/bug-19987 Thanks! ** Patch added: "fix.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docbook-utils/+bug/19987/+attachment/5940272/+files/fix.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/19987 Title: docbook2man uses hyphens instead of minus signs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docbook-utils/+bug/19987/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
