[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#475887: cupsys-client: .gz man pages are not in gzip format

[Michael Berg]

Package: cupsys-client
Version: 1.3.7-1
Severity: minor

The .gz manual pages installed by cupsys-client (and a few by cupsys-bsd)
are not in gzip format.

$ file /usr/share/man/man8/cupsenable.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/cupsenable.8.gz: troff or preprocessor input text

When man2html is run from cron.weekly runs on my system,
it generates the following errors:
