Description: Fish's internal man pages are installed compressed, yet the internal mechanism to invoke the typesetter doesn't understand compressed files. For example:

me@host ~> set -h
troff: fatal error: can't open `/usr/share/fish/man/set.1': No such file or directory

me@host ~> command -h
troff: fatal error: can't open `/usr/share/fish/man/command.1': No such file or directory

The solution is to drop this from the PKGBUILD:

# compress man pages
find "$pkgdir"/usr/share/fish/man/ -type f | xargs gzip -9
This task depends upon
