It looks like the BTS alread has about 8 bugs reported against xemacs
for this problem. Does anyone know of a way to fix it in the filesystem
or are we waiting for a new version of man or ...?
I got rid of the gnudoit.xemacs.1.gz file (which contained the .so
command) and made it a link to gnuserv.xemacs.1.gz. Now the man page for
gnudoit works. Will this screw up my system when a fixed debian package
is released?
