E: libwww-mechanize-chrome-perl changes: inconsistent-maintainer Andrew Ruthven <andrew@etc.gen.nz> (changes vs. source) Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
N:
N: The Maintainer address in a group of related processables is inconsistent
N: as indicated.
N:
N: This sometimes happens when environmental variables like DEBEMAIL are set
N: to different values when building sources and changes separately. Please
N: use the same maintainer everywhere.
N:
N: Please refer to Bug#546525, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField,
N: and Ubuntu Bug#1862787 for details.

O: libwww-mechanize-chrome-perl: groff-message troff:<standard input>:2313: warning [p 21, 10.5i]: cannot break line [usr/share/man/man3/WWW::Mechanize::Chrome.3pm.gz:1]
N:
N: A manual page provoked warnings or errors from the man program. Here are
N: some common ones:
N:
N: "cannot adjust" or "can't break" are issues with paragraph filling. They
N: are usually related to long lines. Justifying text on the left hand side
N: can help with adjustments. Hyphenation can help with breaks.
N:
N: For more information, please see "Manipulating Filling and Adjusting" and
N: "Manipulating Hyphenation" in the Groff manual (see info groff).
N:
N: "can't find numbered character" usually means that the input was in a
N: national legacy encoding. The warning means that some characters were
N: dropped. Please use escapes such as \[:a] as described on the groff_char
N: manual page.
N:
N: Other common warnings are formatting typos. String arguments to .IP
N: require quotes. Usually, some text is lost or mangled. See the groff_man
N: (or groff_mdoc if using mdoc) manual page for details on macros.
N:
N: The check for manual pages uses the --warnings option to man to catch
N: common problems, like a . or a ' at the beginning of a line as literal
N: text. They are interpreted as Groff commands. Just reformat the paragraph
N: so the characters are not at the beginning of a line. You can also add a
N: zero-width space (\&) in front of them.
N:
N: Aside from overrides, warnings can be disabled with the .warn directive.
N: Please see "Debugging" in the Groff manual.
N:
N: You can see the warnings yourself by running the command used by Lintian:
N:
N: LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 MANROFFSEQ='' MANWIDTH=80 \
N: man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l -Tutf8 -Z <file> >/dev/null
N:
N: Please refer to the groff_man(7) manual page and the groff_mdoc(7) manual
N: page for details.

N: Visibility: warning
N: Show-Always: no
