Follow-up Comment #3, bug #58098 (project groff):
The report (request, concern) is not invalid, but valid!
The fact is, that the file "groff_mmse.7" is installed in the wrong
directory.
A "wrong" cure does not make an issue invalid nor makes it disappear.
The mistake in the patch is to change the name from "groff_mmse" to
"groff_mm".
In my system the installed software (Debian) puts it in
"/usr/share/man/sv/man7".
The "man" programme does thus not find it.
On a "CentOS release 6.10 (Final)" system it is placed in the
directory, that "groff" dictates, although a directory
"/usr/share/man/sv/" exists (man7/ is missing there).
So "groff" is wrong in this case!
GROFF is a GNU project!
Why should a foreign language man page pop up?
The report is thus about a bug (defect), not a "wish" nor invalid.
