Created attachment 323170 [details] patch fixing gpg-agent man page Description of problem: Author of the manpage for gpg-agent was obviously persuaded that when he writes ` to the source roff text, he gets ` on the output of man program. It is not so, so gpg-agent(1) shows things like this (copied from the gnome-terminal): eval ‘gpg-agent --daemon‘ which is not the same and when copied blindly to ~/.xinitrc produces incomprehensible error messages ("‘gpg-agent command not found, which makes most people wonder, how it is possible when they have /usr/bin/agent in their $PATH). The generated text is exactly: [matej@hubmaier ~]$ echo 'eval ‘gpg-agent --daemon‘' |xxd 0000000: 6576 616c 20e2 8098 6770 672d 6167 656e eval ...gpg-agen 0000010: 7420 2d2d 6461 656d 6f6e e280 980a t --daemon.... [matej@hubmaier ~]$ Correct source should say, eval \`gpg-agent --daemon\` (groff(7) is mistaken as well -- see bug 471025). Attached is suggested patch for gpg-agent manpage -- other manpage needs to be tested as well. Similar bug was filed in the Debian as well -- http://bugs.debian.org/505286 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnupg2-2.0.9-3.fc10.x86_64
