[gentoo-dev] man-1.5-r1 busted

[Crowfoot, Norman (CCI-Atlanta)]

Gang,

sys-apps/man/man-1.5i-r1.ebuild does not build correctly.  Bad source
patch to path loses colon characters, thereby loses locations of gzip,
pager, etc.

Suggest following fix to ebuild.

OK; I added the colons back but removed the /usr/ucb path.  Should be showing
up on rsync in 30 mins.

I've just done emerge rsync and emerged man again - complaints about
invalid characters and after the merge I still get nothing but garbage
from man displays.

I would guess that your man.conf file still needs to be installed.  Look for a
file like this in /etc: ._cfg????-man.conf

The easiest way to find 'em is like this:

find /etc -name '._cfg*' -print

If you find one or more that ends in man.conf, mv that file to /etc/man.conf.

OK; did you update your man.conf with the ._cfg????_man.conf version?
