Created attachment 1226818 [details] broken "dig" man-page The file in question
Hi Robin, thanks for reporting. dig.1 man page is not part of man-pages package, so this bug should have been filed against bind. However, the man page is being generated from docbook source using XSL stylesheets from docbook-style-xsl package, and the real problem seems to be there. The man page is fine when generated with docbook-style-xsl-1.78.1-5.fc24 , but garbled with docbook-style-xsl-1.79.1-1.fc25. Steps to reproduce: git clone https://source.isc.org/git/bind9.git --depth 1 cd bind9 ./configure --with-docbook-xsl=/usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets cd bin/dig make man man -l dig.1
Hello Nikola, You're welcome. Thank you for explaining how man pages are generated! I'll be sure to remember if I encounter more garbled pages.
Thanks for reassigning. I think https://sourceforge.net/p/docbook/bugs/1381/ describes what happens here. Non-namespace aware docbook is used for processing name-spaced docbook document. Partially, it can be considered bug in bind - using non-namespaced stylesheets with namespaced their own xsl is bad habbit - so they should probably change the build dependency to docbook5-style-xsl ... bud as bob stated he will fix it in next release of docbook 4 stylesheets, so it can be definitely fixed on the docbook stylesheets side. Meanwhile, I'd suggest cloning this report against bind-utils - so they can fix the build requires.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
