Description of problem: nroff fails when /tmp is read-only. I often need to read some man pages while rescuing a system with read-only root filesystem :). A buffer in bash can used instead of the temp file if /tmp is read-only. Also, in most cases when both input and output charsets are utf-8 it's unnecessary to invoke iconv, and a process can be saved for groff. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): groff-1.18.1.4-2 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. remount ro / 2. man man Actual results: man fails Expected results: man works ok
