Hallo Colin, thanks a lot for your very clear explanations.
It worked fine. I went to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/groff/1.22.3-1 , selected my architecture under "Builds" and got the right .deb to download. I installed it with sudo dpkg -i. I had just to install groff-base 1.22.3-1 first. Than, the same with groff 1.22.3-1 Afterworks I did sudo apt-get -f install (maybe it was not necessary). My first install with dpkg :o) Cheers Grégoire Le lundi 10 novembre 2014 à 11:28 +0000, Colin Watson a écrit : > On Sat, Nov 08, 2014 at 01:27:37PM +0000, Ralph Corderoy wrote: > > Ubuntu's package manager? http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/groff says > > 14.10's is currently 1.22.2-8 and that they take Debian's package, > > maintained by Colin Watson (who's on this list).
