I cannot reproduce that:
I'm using 64bit. could this be a 32/64 bit issue maybe ?
What is the latest changelog entry of your groff package?
harald harald > rpm -q groff groff-1.18.1.1-167.1 harald harald > harald harald > rpm -q groff * Thu Nov 20 2008 mfabian@suse.de - bnc#446710: add the workarounds from /usr/share/groff/site-tmac/tmac.andocdb (man package) directly to groff. These workarounds are to avoid rendering - as U+2010 (HYPHEN), \- as U+2212 (MINUS SIGN), ` as U+2018 (LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK), and ' as U+2019 (RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK). Using these non-ASCII characters for rendering man-pages with programm examples and command line options is confusing and prevents cut and paste of code examples impossible. matches my "IIRC" that this showed up only recently;) for reference and comparison here is the list of rpm versions for involved files # strace -fo /tmp/O man rsync # rpm -qf `grep open.\" /tmp/O |grep -v ENO | cut -d\" -f2 |sort -u | grep -v /dev/ ` 2> /dev/null | sort -u | grep -v / filesystem-11.1-1.20 gdbm-1.8.3-370.42 glibc-2.9-2.2 glibc-locale-2.9-2.2 groff-1.18.1.1-167.1 less-424b-1.34 libbz2-1-1.0.5-33.57 libgcc43-4.3.3_20081022-8.3 libncurses5-5.6-89.7 libreadline5-5.2-141.9 libstdc++43-4.3.3_20081022-8.3 libzio-0.9-4.15 man-2.5.2-16.1 man-pages-posix-2003a-2.18 rsync-3.0.4-2.21 terminfo-base-5.6-89.7 timezone-2008h-2.15 zlib-1.2.3-133.47 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
