Ahh, long ago, fondly remembered troff days.

It appears the groff invocation asks for a macro package "s"
(aka "ms" macros) that are not found on your system.

On my Fedora 34 system, there are two groff packages, "groff-base"
and "groff".  The ms macros are in the groff-base package but not
in the groff package.
