That output comes from man, and there I believe from groff. I don't think it's appropriate for Lintian to try to rewrite error messages from external programs. I can reassign it to groff. I don't know how likely the maintainer will be to want to change this, though. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
