Package: docbook-utils
Version: 0.6.14-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hello,
docbook2man escapes . and ' only at the beginning of a line :
$_[0] =~ s/^\./\\\&\./;
So if there are some spaces or tab before . or ', they are not escaped
while they should be.
That can break some manpages, without any warning on build.
See attached the patch provided by Nicolas François.
Regards,
