Hallo Colin,

thanks a lot for your very clear explanations.

It worked fine.

I went to 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/groff/1.22.3-1 , selected  my
architecture under "Builds" and got the right .deb to download.

I installed it with  sudo dpkg -i.
 
I had just to install groff-base 1.22.3-1 first.
Than, the same with groff 1.22.3-1
Afterworks I did sudo apt-get -f install (maybe it was not necessary).

My first install with dpkg :o) 

Cheers
Grégoire
