Package: groff
Version: 1.23.0-8
Severity: important
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?67169 reported that the .UR man
macro drops URLs in PDF output; the upstream bug has a reproducer. This
turns out to be because a Debian patch (
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/groff/-/blob/master/debian/patches/man-hyperlinks.patch)
enables the U register, but I hadn't realized that this was broken for
PDF output in groff 1.23.0.
The next upstream release will have proper PDF hyperlinking support, but
until then, we should adjust this patch so that it doesn't default to attempting to use hyperlinks for PDF output.
