Description Scott Garman 2011-03-11 16:14:19 UTC 
Recent Ubuntu systems (e.g, Maverick) separate out the groff package into "groff" and "groff-base". With our current host dependency list, groff-base gets pulled in, which provides the groff utility. However, a critical groff plugin is missing (s.tmac) which is only provided by the groff package.

We actually list the groff package as a requirement when building for RPM-based systems, but it's missing from the Debian-based required package list.

So to fix this, please simply add groff to the list of pacakges for Debian-based hosts.

I added this to the Debian-based system package requirement list (example command).  I still need to push, and create and send the pull requests.

Verified groff package is now listed in the Quick Start Guide on our website.
