2823	Man-DB fails 2 tests with Groff-1.21	Matthew Burgess	Matthew Burgess	"Here's the abridged output from 'make check':

{{{

}}}

And here's upstreams response to my report:

  ...you might just disregard the failing tests for now until I release man-db 2.6.0.  They don't indicate a problem in the installed package (except for a minor one in man-db's own manual pages).  While this was triggered by groff changing the format of its warning messages slightly, it's not a bug in groff either."	defect	closed	normal	6.8	Book	SVN	normal	fixed
