Title:
  package groff-base is missing file europs.tmac

Status in groff package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in groff source package in Karmic:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: groff

  This is on Ubuntu 9.10.

  When trying to generate a Postscript file from a man page, I got this
  error message:

  eeepc-ubuntu:/usr/share/groff/1.20.1/tmac% man -t man >/tmp/man.ps
  /usr/share/groff/1.20.1/tmac/ps.tmac:689: can't find macro file `europs.tmac'
  eeepc-ubuntu:/usr/share/groff/1.20.1/tmac%

  At that time package groff-base but not package groff was installed.
  The file was indeed missing from the file system.

  After that I installed the package groff and the problem went away.
  The file europs.tmac now exists.

  The versions of groff and groff-base involved are these:

  ii  groff                                          1.20.1-5                                   GNU troff text-formatting system
  ii  groff-base                                     1.20.1-5                                   GNU troff text-formatting system (base syste

  This seems to be identical to Debian bug 546844.  As indicated in that
  bug report, the file europs.tmac should be in package groff-base and
  not in package groff.
