Hopefully this doe not create bug reports as in past
I do not like this. The reason for this lines are simple: without I get a lot of reports and bug reports about broken man pages and broken printing of man pages. Beside this: it does not build
The failed build is probably due to other breakes in my branch, not related to the change.
Why would the man pages be broken? After uninstalling groff-full man seems to continue to work just fine. If printing stuff gets installed, ghostscript would be pulled in which in turn would trigger installation of groff-full already. So this change is mostly wouln't affect full featured installation. Helps on systems that have the base pattern only and then would like to have man pages.
build issue is solved, was a stale glibc
