[Bug 1095075] Re: groff: new version available with bug fixes

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package groff - 1.22.1-1

---------------
groff (1.22.1-1) unstable; urgency=low


  * New upstream release (LP: #1095075).
  * Use xz compression for binary packages.
  * Use 'dh $@ --options' rather than 'dh --options $@', for
    forward-compatibility with debhelper v8.
  * Use dh-autoreconf.
  * Change Homepage from http://groff.ffii.org/ to
    https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/.  Suggested by Bernd Warken.
  * Don't compress *.mom examples.  They're not all that large, and this
    allows dropping a manual page patch against upstream.
  * Recommend perl for gropdf.

Title:
  groff: new version available with bug fixes

Status in “groff” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  # lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 12.10
  Release:        12.10

  My system kubuntu-12.10 uses groff-1.21.

  groff:
    Installed: 1.21-9
    Candidate: 1.21-9
    Version table:
   *** 1.21-9 0
          500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  But this is buggy. For example, groffer does not start with this
  version. The source packages are:

  groff_1.21.orig.tar.gz
  groff_1.21-9.debian.tar.gz
  groff_1.21-9.dsc

  In groff_1.21-9.dsc it is said that

  Source: groff
  Binary: groff-base, groff
  Architecture: any
  Version: 1.21-9
  Maintainer: Colin Watson <cjwatson at debian.org>
  Homepage: http://groff.ffii.org/
  Standards-Version: 3.9.1

  This homepage is not right. This website is only for the groff development. The main website is
  http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/
  with the download site
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/groff/

  This ftp-site contains the actual version groff-1.22.1.tar.gz
  At groff-1.22.1, groffer runs without problems.

  Please use groff-1.22.1.

  Thanx and all the best for 2013
