Lintian indeed doesn't know anything about *roff syntax and just runs man --warnings. If you run man --warnings -l <path> >/dev/null on the file, do you get the same error message? If so, I think this is probably a bug in man-db. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
