I vaguely recall that previously man-db produced these warnings for Asian man pages or something because it had trouble finding break points, but that memory is *very* vague and I may be out to lunch. Is it safe to re-enable these warnings now? (lintian.d.o would probably still lose since it has an old man-db, but we do detect that and could disable these for stable man-db.) -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
