Hi,

Lintian is giving us a warning about a powercom.8 man page

nut: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man8/powercom.8.gz 114: warning 
[p 2, 2.5i]: can't break line

I guess this should be fixed upstream


Cheers

Laurent Bigonville

warning [p 2, 2.5i]: can't break line
N:
N:   This man page provokes warnings or errors from man.
N:   
N:   "cannot adjust" or "can't break" are trouble with paragraph filling,
N:   usually related to long lines. Adjustment can be helped by left
N:   justifying, breaks can be helped with hyphenation, see "Manipulating
N:   Filling and Adjusting" and "Manipulating Hyphenation" in the manual.
N:   
N:   "can't find numbered character" usually means latin1 etc in the input,
N:   and this warning indicates characters will be missing from the output.
N:   You can change to escapes like \[:a] described on the groff_char man
N:   page.
N:   
N:   Other warnings are often formatting typos, like missing quotes around
N:   a string argument to .IP. These are likely to result in lost or
N:   malformed output. See the groff_man (or groff_mdoc if using mdoc) man
N:   page for information on macros.
N:   
N:   This test uses man's --warnings option to enable groff warnings that
N:   catch common mistakes, such as putting . or ' characters at the start
N:   of a line when they are intended as literal text rather than groff
N:   commands. This can be fixed either by reformatting the paragraph so
N:   that these characters are not at the start of a line, or by adding a
N:   zero-width space (\&) immediately before them.
N:   
N:   At worst, warning messages can be disabled with the .warn directive,
N:   see "Debugging" in the groff manual.
N:   
N:   To test this for yourself you can use the following command:
N:    LANG=en_US.UTF-8 MANWIDTH=80 man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l <file> >/dev/null
N:   
N:   Severity: normal, Certainty: certain
