Hi Hugo,

[root@rsync /root]# man ls
/usr/bin/groff: can't find `DESC' file
/usr/bin/groff:fatal error: invalid device `latin1'
[root@rsync /root]# /usr/bin/groff -Tlatin1 -mandoc
/usr/bin/groff: can't find `DESC' file
/usr/bin/groff:fatal error: invalid device `latin1'
[root@rsync /root]#

I think it's the groff which currupted maybe? it doesn't understand the
option -Tlatin1 it's fine with other systems of mine with that command.

Thanks anyway.
Thang

Try this:-

# for i in `rpm -qa | grep man` ; do
#    echo -e -n "Checking $i     \r"
#    rpm -v $i
# done

If one of the man-related files has become corrupted, that should tell you.

What language setting did you use? It looks like a locale-related error.
