Follow-up Comment #14, bug #68497 (group groff):

A side remark: replacing groff -man by groff -mgan raises no exception
on all my man pages, but one, which contains an instruction:

.if t .so /usr/share/lib/tmac/ms.acc 

which triggers the following error:

gtroff:<standard input>:5: error: cannot open '/usr/share/lib/tmac/ms.acc ':
No such file or directory

The point is that there was a trailing space after ms.acc. groff -man 
removed it silently, but groff -mgan takes it seriously as part of the
file name. I let you decide who is right.

Is there a more portable way of importing ms.acc, without having such
hard-coded absolute pathnames?
