Bug#498082: lintian: false positive in manpages
Package: lintian
Version: 1.24.2.1
Severity: normal
W: mircpio: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/mircpio.1.gz list open at EOF! A .Bl directive has no matching .El
I’ve got three manpages in mdoc(7) format with this error now. All of
them are valid (at least I think so), but have nested lists:
│ .Bl ...
│ ...
│ .Bl ...
│ ...
│ .El
│ ...
│ .El
I think this triggers the manpage-has-errors-from-man bug falsely.
