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: 
N:   Visibility: warning
N:   Show-Always: no
N:   Check: documentation/manual
N:   Renamed from: manpage-has-errors-from-man
