uuid.3 is not the only affected manpage, as can be seen here: https://udd.debian.org/lintian/?packages=util-linux > Any program (person), that produces man pages, should check its content for > defects by using > > groff -mandoc -t -ww -b -z [ -K utf8 | k ] <man page> Not sure why you are checking man pages by hand. lintian already performs this check. > --- uuid.3 2024-06-08 21:28:36.102121313 +0000 > +++ uuid.3.new 2024-06-08 22:54:45.395442660 +0000 The patch is useless to me for multiple reasons: 1) it is lacking a Signed-off-by, as explained in the upstream contributing guidelines, [1] 2) it needs to go upstream instead, 3) the uuid.3 file is not a source file. util-linux manpages are generated by asciidoctor. So, if you want to see this fixed, please submit patches to the adoc source files to upstream. Chris [1] https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/blob/master/Documentation/howto-contribute.txt
