<div dir="ltr">Wow. There cannot have been many times since the invention of computers where more time has passed between a bug report and its successful resolution. At least, I'm going to assume it was successful; whatever I was trying to do 20 years ago is unknown to me and I have no easy means to test this fix, not least as I do not run Debian anymore. :) Still, thank you for your hard work, just in general.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, May 26, 2026 at 10:54 AM Debian Bug Tracking System <<a href="mailto:owner@bugs.debian.org">owner@bugs.debian.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">This is an automatic notification regarding your Bug report<br>

Version: 0.6.20-1<br>
Severity: important<br>
<br>
<br>
rd/rd2man-lib.rb gives no means of generating a man page for a<br>
seciton other than 1.<br>
<br>
The source includes the line:<br>
<br>
.TH #{title} 1 "#{Time.now.strftime '%B %Y'}"<br>
<br>
That "1" is hard-coded, and means that all man pages, even those put<br>
in other sections, will say (1) in them.<br>
<br>
Farther up it has:<br>
<br>
OUTPUT_SUFFIX = "1"<br>
<br>
I suspect (not knowing an Ruby at all) that putting something in the<br>
man page saying how to set OUTPUT_SUFFIX *and* changing the .TH line<br>
to use it would solve the problem.<br>
