Seems like the pic2graph util shipped with that version of groff is buggy. It's a shell script, in line 48 is missing a command. I'll attach a patch to fix this (might need to be sent upstream to ESR if that file is still buggy in a more current version). Another thing is that the util uses /usr/tmp instead of /var/tmp. That's a correct symlink on most systems (including Gentoo) but that doesn't make it FHS conform :) I'll attach another patch for this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. wget http://www.catb.org/~esr/hacker-emblem/glider.pic 2. pic2graph < glider.pic Actual Results: /tmp/pic2graph: line 48: syntax error near unexpected token `)' /tmp/pic2graph: line 48: ` -format)' Expected Results: Dunno, but no error.
Created attachment 22873 [details, diff] patch against pic2graph (fix missing command)
Created attachment 22874 [details, diff] patch against pic2graph (make it more FHS conforme)
i updated the sed statement to fix the shift/-U issue and e-mailed upstream about it groff-1.19.1-r1 resolves the tmpdir issue sorry for the delay ;)
