Check that /etc/groff/man.local and /etc/groff/mdoc.local are in sync on
the two machines. You want the versions that look like this:
.\" This file is loaded after an-old.tmac.
.\" Put any local modifications to an-old.tmac here.
.
.if n \{\
. \" Debian: Map \(oq to ' rather than ` in nroff mode for devices other
. \" than utf8.
. if !'\*[.T]'utf8' \
. tr \[oq]'
.
. \" Debian: Disable the use of SGR (ANSI colour) escape sequences by
. \" grotty.
. if '\V[GROFF_SGR]'' \
. output x X tty: sgr 0
.
. \" Debian: Map \- to the Unicode HYPHEN-MINUS character, to make
. \" searching in man pages easier.
. if '\*[.T]'utf8' \
. char \- \N'45'
.\}
