Package: perl-doc Version: 5.18.0-1 Severity: minor perldoc from Perl 5.18 doesn't work if groff is not installed: | $ perldoc perldoc | Use of uninitialized value $roffer in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl/5.18/Pod/Perldoc/ToMan.pm line 53. | Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl/5.18/Pod/Perldoc/ToMan.pm line 303. | Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/perl/5.18/Pod/Perldoc/ToMan.pm line 308. | Error while formatting with Pod::Perldoc::ToMan: | no nroffer!? | at /usr/share/perl/5.18/Pod/Perldoc.pm line 1346. | | | at /usr/bin/perldoc line 10. | Got a 0-length file from /usr/share/perl/5.18/pod/perldoc.pod via Pod::Perldoc::ToMan!? | | at /usr/bin/perldoc line 10.
This is a regression: previous versions of perldoc displayed raw POD in such situation, which might be suboptimal (see bug #206211), but is still better than nothing.
