Package: manpages Version: 2.34-1 Severity: minor Hi,
Here is the list of some problems found with `groff -Tascii -wmac -mman
$file` and the comments. Most of the problems result in a missing line.
It sometimes seems to be wanted (macro .nl for example), but would be
better with a known macro (to ease the gettextization for example).
However, sometimes there is a real problem that should be fixed.
>./man2/shmget.2:132: warning: `Br' not defined
results: incomple sentence
fix: .BR instead of .Br

results: line dismissed
fix: .IR instead of .IT
>./man7/uri.7:229: warning: `UR' not defined
results: line dismissed
fix: .IR instead of .UR, and should probably be rephrased.
>./man7/uri.7:231: warning: `UE' not defined
results: ok
fix: should be removed
And another problem not detected by this command but found while
gettextizing the pages with po4a:
* man2/remap_file_pages.2:47
\fB1.\fp should be \fB1.\fP
* man2/remap_file_pages.2:54
\fB2.\fp should be \fB2.\fP
Cheers,
