rpm file where the warning is being reported

Description of problem:

$rpmlint -i /home/jhladky/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/hwloc-1.7-0.fc18.x86_64.rpm
hwloc.x86_64: W: manual-page-warning /usr/share/man/man1/hwloc-info.1.gz 151: warning: macro `.' not defined
This man page may contain problems that can cause it not to be formatted as
intended.

Line 151 of the man page reads:
.TP

I don't see any problem here.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpmlint version 1.4 Copyright (C) 1999-2007 Frederic Lepied, Mandriva


How reproducible:
$rpmlint -i /home/jhladky/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/hwloc-1.7-0.fc18.x86_64.rpm
hwloc.x86_64: W: manual-page-warning /usr/share/man/man1/hwloc-info.1.gz 151: warning: macro `.' not defined
This man page may contain problems that can cause it not to be formatted as

1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.

I will upload the rpm file.

Thanks
Jirka

It doesn't read that in the man page attached in comment 1, that one has:

    $ zcat hwloc-info.1.gz | sed -ne 151p
    ..\" **************************

There's one extra "." at the beginning of that line.

Thanks for looking into it! Not sure what went wrong but I have apparently checked the wrong file.
