This bug is not even RC, but it is ugly, and I would hate to ship Etch with it. All the man pages for this package use macros, sitting in a file called man.macros. I have no idea where to install this file, or how to tell the man pages where to look for this file once I manage to install it somewhere that is not insane and ugly. My falied attempts to bring some sanity to this issue are found here: http://www.amayita.com/debian/1_sponsored/tix/old/tix-8.4.0/debian/rules So you've put the macros file as /usr/share/man/tixman.macros. That's sensible. Now you want the manpages to use this file? The thing to do is to edit the man-pages to the line that says: .so man.macros becomes: .so tixman.macros Doing this with sed in the rules file should be pretty straightforward.

Hi Matthew, Matthew Vernon wrote: So you've put the macros file as /usr/share/man/tixman.macros. That's sensible. Thanks for confirming this. Now you want the manpages to use this file? The thing to do is to edit the man-pages to the line that says: .so man.macros becomes: .so tixman.macros Doing this with sed in the rules file should be pretty straightforward. I already did that by hand. I guess I am a bit dumb when it comes to automating stuff. The problem is that the macros file gets installed as: /usr/share/man/tixman.macros.gz My concern is that this file gets compressed, and I have tried to manually uncompress it, and leave it compressed. There seems to be no difference in how the manpages are displayed. Or I can't really spot it. Any advice? -- ·''`.

Also lintian is screaming at me for various reasons: http://www.amayita.com/debian/1_sponsored/tix/lintian The only ones I can't fix are the $CURSE broken manpages. Or the $CURSE broken way I am trying to make them work. Thanks again for any hint. -- ·''`.
