Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.13
Severity: normal

Hello, 

a fancy man page has this little section here (actually many of these sections and the package (torque) has many man pages, hence the bug is not minor) :

..if !\n(Pb .ig Ig
..ft 6
..IP "\&\s-1\\$1\s+1\f1"
..Ig
..if  \n(Pb .ig Ig
..ft 2
..IP "\&\\$1\s+1\f1"
..Ig
...

which means that the block may be skipped.

lintian does not get it but warns about .Ig being an undefined macro - it is not. It is the end of the comment.

Cheers,

Steffen

Per the bug discussion, the warning comes from groff, so this isn't a
Lintian bug.  Based on Colin's follow-up, it sounds like this is indeed a
bug in the man page in the package.  Closing this bug accordingly.
