The following happens in 7.0-STABLE built from the source "csup"ed
either yesterday's or this morning:
------------------------------------------------------------
$ groff -mm -t -Tascii tmp.mm
groff: can't find `DESC' file
groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii'
$ truss -mm -t -Tascii tmp.mm 2>&1 | grep DESC
++ [ ~/doc1/employ/ab-initio ] ++
truss groff -mm -t -Tascii tmp.mm 2>&1 | grep DESC
open("/usr/local/share/groff/site-font/devascii/DESC",O_RDONLY,0666)
ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
open("/usr/local/share/groff/1.19.2/font/devascii/DESC",O_RDONLY,0666)
ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
open("/usr/lib/font/devascii/DESC",O_RDONLY,0666) ERR#2 'No such file
or directory'
groff: can't find `DESC' file
write(2,"groff: can't find `DESC' file\n",30) = 30 (0x1e)
$ ls -l /usr/share/groff_font/devascii/DESC
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 95 Aug 18 08:59
/usr/share/groff_font/devascii/DESC
$ GROFF_FONT_PATH=/usr/share/groff_font groff -mm -t -Tascii tmp.mm
troff: fatal error: can't find macro file m
$ which groff
/usr/bin/groff
------------------------------------------------------------
Note an attempt to look for a file under /usr/local, which should not
happen for a program in "base".
This behavior is very new -- no such problem existed in the code
fetched last Saturday. There, I see:
------------------------------------------------------------
$ truss groff -mm -t -Tascii tmp.mm 2>&1 | grep DESC
open("/usr/share/groff_font/devascii/DESC",O_RDONLY,0666) = 3 (0x3)
------------------------------------------------------------
Anybody know of what happened?
Thanks,
