That analysis was wrong: "cannot adjust line" does not mean
that the line is too long, but rather that there are no spa-
ces that groff can expand to adjust (justify) the line.
For rpm(8) this was worked around by formatting the default
value as a code block, with line breaks after each colon,
thus not requiring the lines to be adjusted/justified.
