Yes It is me, and this is my first reportbug directly from that bug - hence the
unhelpful From: :-)
I've done a little more investigating:
The log says it ran man -E UTF-8 -l ./man1/man.1
unning:
../../src/man -E UTF-8 -l ./man1/man.1
by hand in the debian/build/man/es directory produces working man output:
NOMBRE
man - una interfaz de los manuales de referencia electrónicos
SINOPSIS
man [-c|-w|-tZT dispositivo] [-adhu7V] [-m sistema[,...]] [-L locale]
[-p cadena] [-M ruta] [-P paginador] [-r
prompt] [-S lista] [-e extension] [[secci[24m�n] pagina ...] ...
so I'm not sure how to reproduce this. The makefiles are somewhat cryptic as to
what's actually going on.
Where do I find the groff command that's actually being run?
