man: man -Tpdf fails

[vbauerster]

I'm trying to convert a man page to a pdf, following command fails when firejail is enabled:

❯ man -Tpdf find > man-find.pdf
groff: error: couldn't exec gropdf: Permission denied
/usr/bin/man: command exited with status 4: (cd /usr/share/man && /usr/lib/man-db/zsoelim) | (cd /usr/share/man && /usr/lib/man-db/manconv -f UTF-8:ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8//IGNORE) | (cd /usr/share/man && preconv -e UTF-8) | (cd /usr/share/man && tbl) | (cd /usr/share/man && groff -mandoc -Tpdf)

Any suggestion what needs to be done?

On my Arch Linux box /usr/bin/gropdf is a perl script. disable-interpreters.inc blocks the Perl interpreter, so it looks like you need to include allow-perl.inc in a man.local file to support printing to PDF in the man sandbox.

Fixed in:

• profiles: man: allow perl #6143

Thanks a lot! Adding include allow-perl.inc fixed the issue.
