bug#54745: Subject: 28.1; woman fails on "file"

[Andreas Röhler]

M-x woman RET file RET

errors saying:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "WoMan can only format man pages
  written with the usual ‘-man’ macros") signal(error ("WoMan can only
  format man pages written with the usual ‘-man’ macros"))
  error("WoMan can only format man pages written with the usual `-man'
  macros") woman-decode-region(1 21597) woman-decode-buffer()
  woman-process-buffer()
  woman-really-find-file("/usr/share/man/man1/file.1.gz" t "*WoMan 1
  file*<2>") woman-find-file("/usr/share/man/man1/file.1.gz")

However from bash, manpage appears correctly.
Also would read nicely from:  "man file > file.txt"

But woman shows:
