Task Description
This is same issue as on: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1151273
The paths changed and trying to mount davfs file system defined in /etc/fstab fails with error: unknown file system davfs
To remedy, I made symlink in /sbin to mount.davfs
The transition of paths had to take that in account as many mounted remote disks failed after upgrade.

groff is typesetting system similar to TeX/LaTeX however, it is very small and very usable. It is not built properly with URW fonts, or such are missing, I cannot know all details. Overall groff package is basically somehow broken.
It shall depend on proper fonts, and such fonts should already be built, including their Unicode versions.

To refer to published works as “assets”, or “digital assets”, is even worse than calling them “content” — it presumes they have no value to society except commercial value.

Task Description
Description:
Tuxcards is seemingly published under some GPL license, on the splash screen I did not see which one.
The splash screen claims it is Donationware, which is bringing confusion.
Picture: https://gnu.support/images/issues/2018-06-17-21:35:41.png
Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donationware
So either the splash screen shall be removed, as it is donationware, or author contacted, or package removed as it is unclear if it is free software or donationware. Free software can be sold, and if it is sold, then such software shall not ask for donations again in my opinion.
