I refuse to report this packaging bug to Fedora,
but I most certainly will use the same flaw to point
out __WHY__ Filelinkto's were added to rpm-4.4.7.

Running rpm_check_debug

Complete!

[jbj@wellfleet src]$ sudo yum -y install groff

Someone appears to have used ${bindir} where ${mandir}
was intended.

Yo Fedora! groff in F10 is mis-packaged!
