looks like yet another groff formatting bug This must be a problem within man. greetings, Florian La Roche i don't think man expects to have non-man-use files in the /usr/share/man area (often times the /usr/share area is mounted read-only, so this is a reasonable assumption). You can workaround this problem by naming the backup file in such a way that the left$ of each don't match. |
