            Bug ID: 252317
           Summary: sysutils/screen man page asks for groff(1) but groff
                    is not installed
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: cy at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd at gushi.org

On a fairly minimal system (one of our jumphosts) I had screen installed by our
provisioning system but "man screen" told me I needed to install groff.

Looking through other ports-related bugs, I found this related issue for bash:

So either screen needs to process its man pages in such a way as well, or groff
should be listed as a screen dependency.
