>Organization:
na
>Environment:
IRIX washu 6.5 6.5.19m 01100304 IP32
>Description:

the installation of security/audit-packages is dependend on nroff
from the groff packages. nroff is not on an IRIX system per default,
(in anycase not my 6.5.19m install) so the build fails.

the fix is to install groff so a nroff comes available to the system

a good solution would be if pkgsrc could check if a nroff or compatible tool is installed (and use the installed version) and/or compile groff from pkgsrc to fix the nroff dependency on irix.
>How-To-Repeat:
without having nroff (groff) installed on the system

cd /usr/pkgsrc/security/audit-packages && bmake install

>Fix:
install groff first
