Bug Description

I am generating man pages from docbook xml using xsltproc and /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/manpages/docbook.xsl

My man page contains entries like this for the "See Also" section:

                       <citerefentry>
                                <refentrytitle><link xlink:href="mosquitto-8.html">mosquitto</link></refentrytitle>
                                <manvolnum>8</manvolnum>
                        </citerefentry>
                        <citerefentry>
                                <refentrytitle><link xlink:href="mosquitto-conf-5.html">mosquitto-conf</link></refentrytitle>
                                <manvolnum>5</manvolnum>
                        </citerefentry>

When I process the man pages using xsltproc from Saucy, the resulting code looks like:

\fBmosquitto\fR(8)\fBmosquitto-conf\fR(5)

When viewed in man, this looks like "mosquitto(8)mosquitto-conf(5)" - with no space between the two entries.

On Precise, the output from the same man page is:

\fBmosquitto\fR(8)
\fBmosquitto-conf\fR(5)

and when viewed in man this looks like "mosquitto(8) mosquitto-conf(5)" as expected.

The xml man pages and Makefile to generate the troff output can be found in http://mosquitto.org/files/source/mosquitto-1.2.3.tar.gz in the man directory.
