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. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
