Not everyone agrees with me, but I think using help2man at build time should be generally avoided. It's fragile (as you see) and the quality of the resulting man pages is generally low. By the time you go through all the trouble of getting it work right, you could have committed (and improved by editing) a static man page originally generated with help2man. The tradeoff is then somebody has to keep that man page up to date. And nroff is initially daunting to edit, although really man pages are pretty simple documents. Just an alternative path to think about for fixing the bug(s). d -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
