Hi,

As reported in https://bugs.debian.org/863437 line 23 (the .TH macro) in
grep.1 contains a not defined `Dt' macro.

Please, consider something like the attached patch to fix it.

Thanks,

Santiago

Thanks for the bug report. I installed the attached patch. It uses a 
hand-maintained date, which is more likely to give the user the (accurate) 
impression that the grep man page is not the focus of our documentation efforts.
