** Description changed:
Hello,
I was trying to run lintian on some deb packages an run onto some errors
messages from groff.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Setup a LXD container with mantic or Noble:
lxc launch ubuntu-daily:noble #or lxc launch ubuntu:mantic
2. Install lintian
apt install lintian
3. Run lintian on some package:
apt download tree && lintian tree_*.deb
4. Enjoy the groff-message logs:
W: tree: groff-message command exited with status 2:
/usr/libexec/man-db/zsoelim | /usr/libexec/man-db/manconv -f UTF-8:ISO-8859-1

- I set it to security vulnerable because it involves a segfault.
