[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Bug#1071924: several man pages have register '^v' undefined

[Bjarni Ingi Gislason]

Package: tcl8.6-doc
Version: 8.6.14+dfsg-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

  warnings from 'groff ...' with some manuls.

  Example:

zcat /usr/share/man/man3/tell.3tcl.gz | groff -man -ww -b -z 

troff: backtrace: '<standard input>':184: trap-called macro '^B'
troff: warning: register '^v' not defined

-.-

  This happens when the macro 'VS' is not used.

-.-

  Define it with

.nr ^v +0

in the first line after the first comment block, for example

[...]
.\" .PQ arg1 ?arg2?
.\"     Print an open parenthesis, arg1 in quotes, then arg2 normally
.\"     (for trailing punctuation) and then a closing parenthesis.
.\"
.\"     # Set up traps and other miscellaneous stuff for Tcl/Tk man pages.
.nr ^v +0
.if t .wh -1.3i ^B
.nr ^l \n(.l
.ad b
