Package: docbook-xsl
Version: 1.73.2.dfsg.1-3
Severity: normal
The aptitude manpage, which is generated using docbook, triggers
lintian errors:
W: aptitude: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man8/aptitude.8.gz 444:
warning: `deb' not defined (probable missing space after `de')
I tracked this down to the following groff code:
.RS 4
Removes all previously downloaded
.deb
files from the package cache directory (usually
\fI/var/cache/apt/archives\fR)\.
.RE
The manpage output produced for this is "Removes all previously
downloaded files from the package cache directory..."; the ".deb" just
vanishes. The corresponding DocBook XML is:
<para>
Removes all previously downloaded <literal>.deb</literal> files
from the package cache
directory (usually <filename>/var/cache/apt/archives</filename>).
</para>
Apparently docbook-xsl doesn't escape leading periods inside
<literal>, causing the manpage formatter to get confused and think that
the line in question is a ROFF escape.
