Description Jan Vcelak 2010-06-09 07:44:41 UTC
Description of problem:

'mc' configuration file /etc/mc/mc.ext incorrectly specifies options for 'nroff'. With groff 1.20, nroff requires option -c to show man pages in mc correctly - without escape sequences.

nroff supported options are detected during package build by mc's configure script. But according to build log, http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/mc/4.7.2/1.fc14/data/logs/x86_64/build.log, nroff is not detected at all:

checking for nroff... false

I suggest adding 'groff' into BuildRequires.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mc-4.7.2-1.fc14
groff-1.20.1-1.fc14

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start 'mc'
2. cd /usr/share/man/man1
3. select bash.1.gz and press F3
  
Actual results:
ugly non-color output with escape sequences

Expected results:
nice color output

The BuildRequires: groff is now added.
