Wrong formatting of name section in cd-paranoia manpage #34

Closed philippemilink closed 2 years ago

Hello,

While updating the Debian package of libcdio-paranoia, I noticed lintian raised a bad-whatis-entry warning for /usr/share/man/man1/cd-paranoia.1.gz. Indeed, lexgrog cannot parse it:

% lexgrog -d /usr/share/man/man1/cd-paranoia.1.gz
...
record = 'cd-paranoia 9.8 (Paranoia release III via libcdio) - an audio CD reading utility which includes extra data verification features'
/usr/share/man/man1/cd-paranoia.1.gz: parse failed

I fixed the problem by changing this line to 

@CDPARANOIA_NAME@ \- an audio CD reading utility which includes extra data verification features (Paranoia release III via libcdio)

(it seems there can be only the binary's name the man page is about before the \-)

Thanks or the bug report and fix. It should be applied now, but if it isn't just reopen the issue.

The change needs to be made in file libcdio-paranoia/doc/en/cd-paranoia.1.in not libcdio-paranoia/doc/en/cd-paranoia.1. The former is the template file which is in giet from which the latter gets generated. The latter file is not in git. I think though the latter file may get included in a distribution tarball.
