Description Glen A. Foster 2002-06-12 13:50:50 EDT

Description of Problem: Something is not right with the epic.1 man-page.  If you
run the command "man 1 epic 2> stderr", there's data in the file "stderr".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -qf $(which epic)
epic-1.0.1-6

How Reproducible: 100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man 1 epic 2> stderr

Actual Results: contents are as follows:
# cat stderr
mdoc warning: Empty input line #298
mdoc warning: Empty input line #306
mdoc warning: list open at EOF!  A .Bl directive has no matching .El

Expected Results: empty stderr output

Additional Information:
This also makes the man-page output for epic.1 empty

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2002-12-29 03:14:31 EST

This is something that will need to be fixed upstream as it doesn't affect the
functionality at all (man 1 epic still works perfectly fine for me)
