Package: man-db Version: 2.11.2-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Subject: $MANWIDTH does not overwrite explicit line length in "~/.manpath" In my ".manpath" for "nroff" was: DEFINE nroff test-nroff -b -ww -mandoc -rF=0 -P-i -rHY=0 -dAD=l -rCHECKSTYLE=0 -rLL=90m Changing the line length with, say "export MANWIDTH=80", had no effect. COLUMNS is 128 Line length in the output is 90. Tested with "sensible-terminal.1" (with additional .tm lines). /usr/bin/man --version man 2.11.2 Output from /usr/bin/man --debug -l sensible-terminal.1 ruid=1000, euid=1000 rgid=1000, egid=1000 >From the config file /home/bg/.manpath: Defined `troff' as `test-groff -b -ww -mandoc -rF=0 -rCHECKSTYLE=5 -dpaper=a4 '.
