Subject: /usr/bin/docbook2x-man: generated manual page contain incorrect encoding header Package: docbook2x Version: 0.8.8-8 Severity: normal
The generated manual pages contain as a first line: '\" -*- coding: us-ascii -*- (or whatever encoding is specified) which I've been told indicates that preprocessors should be used for a given page (see the DEFAULTS section of the man(1) manual page). This causes problems when viewing the manual page with the version of man from etch (the version of lenny seems to work around this). It has been suggested that changing the line to: .\" -*- coding: us-ascii -*- should fix the problem. The roff(7) manual page however suggests putting Emacs commands at the end of the file instead. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages docbook2x depends on: ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libtext-wrapi18n-perl 0.06-6 internationalized substitute of Te ii libxml-sax-expat-perl 0.40-1 Perl module for a SAX2 driver for ii perl 5.10.0-18 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sp 1.3.4-1.2.1-47 James Clark's SGML parsing tools ii texinfo 4.11.dfsg.1-4 Documentation system for on-line i ii xml-core 0.12 XML infrastructure and XML catalog ii xsltproc 1.1.24-2 XSLT command line processor Versions of packages docbook2x recommends: ii docbook-xml 4.5-6 standard XML documentation system, ii docbook-xsl 1.73.2.dfsg.1-5 stylesheets for processing DocBook -- -- arthur - adej...@debian.org - http://people.debian.org/~adejong --
