Bug Description
# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10
My system kubuntu-12.10 uses groff-1.21.
groff:
Installed: 1.21-9
Candidate: 1.21-9
Version table:
*** 1.21-9 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
But this is buggy. For example, groffer does not start with this version. The source packages are:
groff_1.
groff_1.
groff_1.21-9.dsc
In groff_1.21-9.dsc it is said that
Source: groff
Binary: groff-base, groff
Architecture: any
Version: 1.21-9
Maintainer: Colin Watson <email address hidden>
Homepage: http://
Standards-Version: 3.9.1
This homepage is not right. This website is only for the groff development. The main website is
http://
with the download site
ftp://ftp.
This ftp-site contains the actual version groff-1.22.1.tar.gz
At groff-1.22.1, groffer runs without problems.
Please use groff-1.22.1.
Thanx and all the best for 2013

This bug was fixed in the package groff - 1.22.1-1
---------------
groff (1.22.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release (LP: #1095075).
* Use xz compression for binary packages.
* Use 'dh $@ --options' rather than 'dh --options $@', for
forward-
* Use dh-autoreconf.
* Change Homepage from http://
https:/
* Don't compress *.mom examples. They're not all that large, and this
allows dropping a manual page patch against upstream.
* Recommend perl for gropdf.
