Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.4-4
Severity: minor
On the two debian system that I use the aptitude man page displayed in a
terminal or in gnome-yelp look like this ( extract )
\fBinstall\fR
Install one or more packages. The packages should be listed
after the "install" command; if a package name contains a tilde
character ("\fB~\fR"), it will be treated as a search pattern
and every
By looking at the man page in troff format I noticed that this garbage escape
sequence appear when there is a \e sequence in the source man page
\efBinstall\efR
..RS 4
Install one or more packages. The packages should be listed after the
\(lqinstall\(rq
command; if a package name contains a tilde character
(\(lq\efB~\efR\(rq), it will be treated as a search pattern and every
If i replace the sequence \efB with \fB for instance, the man page
